  1. Ever smaller slices of the same old pie. I wonder if there’s something similar to Planck’s constant in economics. I suppose once a currency is inflated far enough, like say Zimbabwe’s is, it has reached it’s practical limit as such. Eventually all fiat currencies end up the same way. USD will be no different, but that is nothing new to us here.

  3. And as an aside all the silver proofs and uncirculated coins on the US Mint website had huge price increases on Oct 13. The 5 oz silver quarters went from $178 to $229. And Quarter silver proof from $42 to $60. And full set of Silver proofs from around 62 to 105! Big price increases. Highest in yrs for the 5 oz coin (and spot was higher then). But the proofs truly went up to the most costly I’ve ever seen.

  4. I do not see anything good for our economy that can come from the declared Democrat policies they will implement if they win. Under ordinary circumstances the result of higher taxes, more regulations and open borders would be a prolonged recession where the president would declare that “those jobs are gone forever”. But given our extraordinary national debt and the many negative effects of covid-19 and the likelyhood of prolonged shutdowns the probability of another great depression seems very high.

  5. After speaking with some real estate agents, it looks like the demand in Idaho has spread to Montana. Prices are soaring and there’s precious little inventory unless you’re a millionaire, OR can fix a complete wreck of a home up for the acreage.

    In regards to the Tourists, it finally got quiet in the past week or so, thankfully, and it’s huntin’ season so lots of locals are out in the woods. I’m so enjoying this! Quiet keeps me sane.

  6. In reference to the story on Washington vacation homes:
    ‘Shouldn’t we have the sheriff down (at the ferry terminal) making sure nobody from the mainland is coming on the island?”
    Wow just wow.
    Yes you, The People, should absolutely have the law enforcement stop Americans from traveling in Amerika (sarc).
    This is how we got here.

    1. No, that’s where we ARE. The way we got to this point was by coddling toddlers until we could send them to college for the final destruction of whatever morals they learned from TV. You should listen to Matt Bracken’s recent podcast. It deals with the reasons why you must stop the mob before they’re in front of your house.

  7. For a viewpoint about this Christmas Shopping Season (The Last Refuge 10/16/2020 says,)
    “Former Toys ‘R’ Us Chairman and CEO and Storch Advisors CEO Gerald Storch, appears on Fox Business to discuss today’s remarkable retail sales data. Storch rightly notes the September year-over-year spending was a whopping 8 percent on durable goods.”

    “This outcome foretells good news for the holiday shopping season… except, as I noted, there is a slight issue. None of the current on-hand inventories are enough to fulfill demand for a big holiday shopping season. Hence, my advice – buy early, buy now.”

    Video also at Fox Business with Gerald Storch, ~September retail sales ‘were the best in recent memory’: Former Toys ‘R’ Us CEO~ 10/16/2020.

    This is about ‘retail Christmas Season sales’ and NOT tangibles investing, which is a long term investing strategy.
    [Old Guns can be a good investment strategy. Long ago just maybe, a Great Grandfather could have bought Trunk Loads of old Colt Peacemakers, for just a little more than the price of fishing weights.]

    1. Here in Eugene Oregon, the Toys ‘R’ Us closed a couple-three years ago.
      The yuge building stands vacant.

      That yuge parking lot is always filled — every space — with used vehicles from the rows of automotive dealers down the way.

      And at least a couple of the dealerships are lagging in massive remodeling of their buildings, remodeling started prior to this phase of this Economic Lock-Down.

      *****

      A meme demonstrated the impact of 2020:
      A tiny boat bobs at the base of a towering wave… probably a hundred times higher than the boat.
      That wave is named ‘2020’.
      Behind it, a wave twice that size towers over the first wave.
      That second wave is named ‘2021’!
