I don't know... I've abandoned nearly everyone that got the shot because nearly all of them ridiculed me for not. So I haven't paid attention to their lives... Or potential deaths. That being said, I know at least one turbo cancel survivor who was saved by an unrelated injury requiring medication that the specific cancer didn't like; i.e. by sheer dumb luck. They now regret the shot. I think my point is, sometimes things are more complicated than any headline.
Best guess - The stores are crawling with bugs and swarming with flies and so, this helps keep them clean. You know, to protect the consumer. Other guesses include improved color preservation, or only spraying in specific locations where certain races are the majority. No idea which group would be targeted. None. Not at all. Who even buys organic anyway, right? The real question is which chain is being investigated? All of them? How did we get to this point? Since it's Texas... Albertsons, Kroger, Sprouts, HEB, Wal-Mart are some of the big grocers.
Fair Tax was designed to only tax what you spend above the minimum amount a person needs to spend to live. The idea being that some fresh out of high school kid didn't pay net taxes on surviving. This was to be done via a rebate given to every citizen for the same amount. But if someone went and bought a yacht, well, that's be paying a hefty sales tax on that. Simultaneously, the income tax was to be repealed with a constitutional amendment. There's more details that can explain the premise but that's the jist. I prefer the tariff idea over Fair Tax, personally, but I don't think I'd mind the Fair Tax if implemented as intended.
Plot twist: In order to remain culturally relevant, the producers of the Simpsons have had to engineer this exact scenario...they are the deep state and engineered it all for ratings. Remember, Lisa declared herself the Lizard Queen. It was them the whole time. The whole time!
The Federal Reserve takes Columbus Day as a holiday. Fedwire being down affects the banks ability to transfer funds. Since its a holiday, they weren't going to be doing that anyway. Banks and CU's should have followed instructions before now: https://www.frbservices.org/about/holiday-schedules/2025-columbus-day. There is nothing here that would indicate some extraordinary action taking place. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean something wont happen or that someone wouldn't take advantage of the timing. Its just this isn't the thing that would indicate it. Status page: https://www.frbservices.org/app/status/serviceStatus.do
Naw its good. If you've never dealt with this it can be weird. So, as an example, spot is $48.43 at this moment. If I go to the online retailers I see a single Silver Eagle (1 ounce) for $54.13. (Prices will vary depending on Check/Wire/Credit Card and individual retailers.) If you buy in quantities, you can get price breaks, typically at 20, and 100 ounces. If you want to sell back, you would need to make sure you get $54.13 per ounce to at least break even. I do see Silver Eagles at Spot + $1.00 right now. So, you'd get $49.43 right now for the coin you paid $54.13 for while spot was at $48.43. Again, you have to check with various coin shops and retailers to determine where you can get the best deal; as with the purchase of any asset, shop around.
Spot is the current market price for a commodity in bulk. For silver, its the cost of a single 1,000 ounce bar. You'll almost never pay spot for silver because of the sellers premium; you'll always pay more to buy and get less when you sell.
You are not wrong at all.
