Then buy all the QQQ that you can on margin.

Two weeks ago when I went to take money out of my local credit union, the lady complained they would run out of cash by the weekend. The reason for that $600 spying by the IRS is directly related to the elevation of cash during scamdemic.

and then pay back the loan with devalued dollars, keeping the difference.

That became the philosophy towards the end of the 1970's hyperinflation when it was decided it was here to stay and became factored into every financial decision. It made all the sense in the world to buy on credit because inflation would bail you out. MasterCard came out in 1978. In Robt. J. Samuelson's book The Great Inflation and its Aftermath, he tells the tragic story of some farmers who owned huge ranches which had been in the family for decades. They took out huge second mortgages counting on inflation to save them. After all, gold was never going to be less than $800 an ounce, such was the belief of the times--$3,000 in today's money. When inflation was finally tamed by 1983 with double digit interest rates, they were wiped out and two or three of them committed suicide.

Yes, Biden et alia have declared sanctions and embargos on the American People. Why the fuck do we send those DC Fucks tax money again?

2 months of maternity leave? I wonder what all the actual women think about that. Of course, this is the same guy who did the phony bike ride to work.

Dems fake pandemic for forced vaccines is breaking the country.

The head looks badly photoshopped. We have enough facts to make our point (2 month maternity leave for man, who obviously did not give birth nor is needed to breast feed), and do not need to use Biden style phony pics.

Lazy crane operators making $250,000 a year exacerbating port crisis, truckers say.

Don't believe Yahoo news, a voice of the oligarchy.

So the wife asked me if I would take a ride with her to Ikea the other day, to pick up a chest of drawers for a room she redecorated.

When we got there there were several displays, that had a faux brick background, she pointed out that the resin chairs, stools, baskets, totes and bins they had set up. Looked like typical third world living room in Lima Peru. Shit you can get at the Haitian owned booths in a Miami flea market. We were both perplexed, nobody in their right mind would decorate like that in a first world country.

Went to look for sofa sleeper for spare room, none in stock and 2 to 4 month wait at two different furniture stores.

This is actually not the full story for gold.

For the most part, prior to that 1978 parabolic move, gold was experiencing a lot of bullishness as support/resistance zones from $80 to $190 were being continually tested. But then, at the $190/oz mark in '78, it broke into a speculative mania which drove the price to $800+/oz, for a year and a half, before the crash.

Yet, despite the 20 year bear market which followed, it never breached $200/oz ever again, despite the fact that all of the 90s was the 'Strong Dollar' era.



So if this were to happen again (meaning a parabolic price move), realize, that last major support area from the 2000s run, $1100 to $1300/oz, will hold.

Time to find some good used American-made furniture from the 1950's - 1970's - Stickley, Baker, Ethan Allen, etc. With a bit of TLC, it could be a great addition. These items are largely finished in lacquer/shellac and joined with hide glue. This means that they are completely restorable - you just have to re-amalgamate the finish and heat/restore the glue joints.

One way I know it's Oligarchy, is that there are/were competitiors to Google that could have easily clawed back market share by being Patriotic and/or Liberty Based.

They haven't.

Look for the solid pine stuff there and finish it yourself.

Do they have Amish furniture stores in your area? I have no idea if that type of thing is nationwide.
