sputtering economy

Folks, we have a sputtering economy. It is like a dying old engine. Fact is, I can hear the death rattle in the air. Today our gov announces disappointing job numbers like it is a surprise. Lets face it, there is no recovery.

Chevy Volt vs Nissan Leaf

Talk about turning over a new leaf at nissan. OK more than the chevy volt, nissan leaf is an affordable electric car. How will it start on cold mornings? That is my worry. Well, you see, electric cars depend on a chemical reaction from the battery, and do not do well in cold weather, but like warm. Also, where does the energy come from to make the car warm. That could mean a reduction in mpg, or in the case of an electric car, it would be kilowatts/hours per kilometer or so.

Saturday delivery over

Forget about getting letters over the weekend because Saturday mail delivery will soon be over. OK so says US postal service. They now want to cut expenses. People this was an old prediction of mine. I told you that rising fuel prices would put in a crimp. Expect more cuts in services in coming years.

Concentration of power

Did you know that a most sites on the net are own by a few big companies? All this so called freedom we have is... Well, it is an illusion like a false mirage. There is a massive concentration of power. A few elites control what we see.

Bankrupt Banks

There were 41 banks failures this year. This is not good news. Debunkers claim that all is fine and I am crazy. However, what do we see? Basically, that unemployment is rising. As people lose jobs they cannot pay their mortgage because they have no money. In turn the banks loaded with bad loans begin to sink into the mire. As more banks fail people start to pull out their money.  This is called a run.

Where would you go if you had a time machine?

There are many films where the hero time travels to the 1950's and lives there for a while before coming back to now. It was a golden era. There was little trouble in moving in. OK so you had a choice of classy cars. Radio were big and there was awesome music. Citizens felt safe and secure. Most families were happy and there was little crime. Teens hung around the soda shop and movie cinema.

Well, suppose you had a choice of what time period you could reside in. The 1950's were the golden age. Jobs were plentiful, cost of living was low, and it was the height of the american empire. People back then were nicer. I believe a time traveller would do well with a 50s slang dictionary.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Well, as most of you know, I love time travel. Here, right on the subject is just such a movie. Hot Tub Time Machine is a vehicle driven by John Cuzsak and his evil minions. Hmmm, ever hear of a good minion? OK so the story is four losers time travel back to 1986. It is a barrel of laughs and so goofy it is pure genius. Time to clock out, because Hot Tub Time Machine is a movie you will enjoy.

euro sinks

Today, euro sank to new low against the dollar in what is a collapse of the eurozone. Problems are not only in greece. OK now we have a down grade of debt in portugal and soon will follow spain. Things keep getting worse. I predict nothing less than collapse of our global economy.

Contaminated virus vaccine

There is a rotavirus injection you may wish to not use. Evidence of contamination of virus vaccine. It is polluted with a pig virus. Strange stuff to be sure. This can cause disease in humans and a major health issue.

FEDEX

I did notice that FEDEX is moving less packages now. There are many reasons. Basically, number one is that the recession is not over. What we have is a gov that lies to us. They claim all is fine while people starve to death in the streets of america. How much longer must things continue to get worse and worse. Politicians keep singing - prosperity is just around the corner. Please wake up.

organic, are you sure

USDA cracks down on false organics. I had noticed that many big biz were moving in. They like to make money. Well, one way is to cut corners. Often these big biz have a less than ethical view. The original farmers were small, but pure.

gas goes up

Today, I went by a Shell station and saw gas over $3/gal. It was selling at $3.09 and my prediction is prices will increase. Back in 2008 when gas went over $4/gal and later crashed I predicted that in 2009 is would go over $2.50/gallon and that in 2010 over $3/gallon. Well, in Feb 2009 when gas was $1.39 a gallon debunkers were laughing. They told me peak oil was a hoax and that gas prices where not going to increase.

Loss of Google means darkness for us

Google is a bright light, but its loss means darkness for all of us. What is happening in China today is a harbinger of things to come. Governments want Google to censor.

Sat radio

Sat radio is a failure most epic. It reminds me of sat phone in that it is a great concept, but people do not want to pay... The reason is the people prefer free over a membership price. Satellite radio is getting delisted on nasdaq so get serious. This is one more HDRKID saying that is coming.

Fast Fiber

FCC has a national broadband plans with 100mbps. This is fast to the max. Plan has been submitted to congress. Hope this means super fast downloads for games. Also, the we will be able to stream HD movies. The future is here now.

Oil prices rising

Debunkers claim that peak oil is decades away. They seems to forget that it cheap now. The only reason gas is not over $5/gal is our current economic crisis. With millions out of work there are less people going to work everyday and less cars. However, China is growing. The supply of black gold dwindles every single day until it will be no more. Future price of oil is rising. In the last decade we saw a meteoric rise. Well, I predict in this decade you will soon see not only gas shortages, but pay a lot more.

supreme court in with tea parties

Wife of supreme court justice Clarence Thomas is starting a tea party. This is interesting news. Perhaps the movement is taking on some power. OK we shall see.

Flying cars

Folks, you do not have to wait for tomorrow, because the future is here now. What could be more futuristic than a flying car? I mean this is not a dream made up. This is a reality that is here now. The Terrafugia Transition is a roadable airplane that is also a car.

spring forward

Time to set our clocks forward an hour to stay in sync. Sunday is daylight savings again. OK so we lose an hour, but we gain it in fall so all systems are go. This reminds me a bit of a time warp. Except of that we gain more hours of light during what use to be night of course.

Wonder why we still do this clock mess. It does remind us that time is relative and that we are only trying to alter what we measure. Real time does not suffer from this game.

China oil use up 28%

China's oil use goes up 28% in one year. Folks, this is scary. OK, my prediction of gas going over $3/gal this year; well is will come true soon. However, we could face super high prices later in this decade if demand continues to rise.

Petroleum price to will soon rise. What we have is both an increase in demand and a decrease in supply of fossil fuel products as more nations industrialize and grow. Expect prices to rise as we consume more.

Oil prices

Folks, yesterday I calculate that it cost me over a dime a mile to move. This restricts long journeys. Find myself using an electric assist bicycle more. John Titor did say to get a bicycle and it seems a prudent sense. I predict that oil prices will skyrocket in this decade. There is less over every day, but the demand increases. It is more than just india and china, but the whole world is becoming more reliant on technology as we go. For example, twenty years ago cell phones in africa were rare. Well, now they are common. It requires petroleum to make the plastic pieces. Sadly, our world is becoming more industrial and less agrarian. This means future price of oil will increase.

LHC shutdown

Large Hadron Collider will be shut down for a year. It seems to me that there is always some problem going on. Perhaps we can get to the bottom of it soon. I wish I could travel to geneva. Would like to see it this year.

3D TV is now

Folks, we have now 3D TV from samsung. It is a bit pricey. The cost is $3,000 for this new technotoy, but it is a big step up. Actually 2D leaves me feeling a bit flat and then some.

What to expect soon

OK we are told that high tech is the healthiest region. That it is going to weather the storm in our economy. Well, that said, I would not be buying any high tech right now. For one, I expect out sourcing to the max. In fact, the few remaining factories will be shut down and move overseas. Jobs in america will vanish like vapor. Few will create new technologies that would cause new jobs to appear. The machine is broken and instead of fixing it politician say that all is fine and I am wrong. Folks, that is not going to solve our situation, and what will take place is a new crisis.

What is coming up

Debunkers claim that all is fine, but they do not hear under their feet the groaning ice. It is getting ready to crack and when it does they will do the debunker flipflop that is so common. That and claim that all my predictions are obvious and that they are easy to see. Well, back in 2005 when I did warn you. Yeah, about GM going bankrupt making fun of me was easy. GM was a much bigger company. It seemed a lot stronger than now.

It is time to wake up. Few can now see what is coming. Time to turn on your high beams and focus on the road ahead if you wish to avoid crashing your car. It is time to prepare.

What I see

OK, we are told we are in an economic recovery. Where are the help wanted signs? Instead, what I see is every single mall and small town square has more has more openings. I am not talking jobs, but vacancies. Boarded up store fronts are now common. Folks, this was not the case a few years ago. There are now more empty stores than ever before and many more will close in the coming year. Get ready for ghost malls to become common.

College is bogus

College tuition is going up. This is a scam. Why go to school when there are no jobs out there for you. I think people need to realize that this is dead end street without a chance for improving. It costs a lot of money. You get a worthless piece of paper.

gone with the windmill

Pickens Plan to free america from foreign oil using wind turbines is gone with the wind and then some. There is no push for the gov for anything except a new carbon tax to increase revenue. Pickens will cut capacity of his wind projects and pull back on natural gas. Basically osama wants nuclear power. Forget all this talks of going green. The only green politicians want is money.

Saturday mail may end soon

Get ready for a new postal service. People now use email and  other forms of distribution of letters that do not involve paper. This means the game is on. In the future mail delivery could be a fond memory. In some ways much like the fabled old west pony express.

Abuse of power?

People are accusing Senator Bunning of abuse of power. This man is doing a filibuster blocking unemployment money. The question is why, and the answer is power. He crushes the poor. There was plenty of money to bail out banks went they were in woe. I see is billions for banksters, but not one penny for the poor.

Postal service cuts 30,000 jobs

Sadly, there is more bad news. Loss of 30,000 jobs via postal service. These are good jobs that pay a living wage. It is getting harder to find work this year. Politicians say we are in a recovery. However, the facts point to a future that is very grim. High use of email is part of the reason.

Financial crisis in europe

There is no recovery. In fact, there is a financial crisis in europe. It reminds me of the fall of the roman empire. Take a look at greece. The riots are massive. It is not the only country in crisis. What about spain? Spain has a unemployment rate of 20% and rising. This is not a recession. No, this is a D-pression and more. Expect gold to go up. It is real money.

Who was John Titor

There are those who do not believe he was the real deal, a soldier from temporal recon. However, he did give us pause. In fact, many of the things he spoke of are getting closer every year. We can still wonder who John Titor was.
