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.

gold was never going to be less than $800 an ounce, such was the belief of the times

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.

Out of flour, sugar, and shortening? WTF!

Kroger around here does not have those little bags you put produce in.

The Great Reset Talking Point is that "Now everything is going to be local and organic!"

That is what Wife's Facebook Small Lib Arts College Friends are repeating as NPC hotspots.

Today I tried to buy toothpicks at Safeway, but they were out.

Then I tried to buy a Ritter chocolate bar at TJ, but they were out.

I found toothpicks at Walgreens, but there are lots of noticeable gaps on the shelves there.
