I'm offering a box of CCI .22 Maxi-Mag (50 rounds) and a broken box of Blaser .38 Special (45 rounds) ammo for sale as I have no need for either.
The thing is, I bought the CCI rounds online. And of course they look cheaper because no sales tax and less overhead. But you factor in the shipping costs, you pay more for these than if you bought them in a local store. The shipping costs there are soaked up as part of the overhead.
None the less, I want to recover my costs. So they go for what I need to sell them for. Or maybe I will use them in trade when the dollar collapses, That's coming you know.
Why does the Stock Market look so hot? Even rising to new highs? Because dollars are cheap, and it takes more of them to buy things, or to just get by. Today's dollar is worth less than 2 cents compared to its value in 1900 You think that cowboys had it rough only earning about $30 a month? That cowboy was given a bunkhouse to live in, a bed however shabby, a horse to ride, and certain duties and to do as he was told, but he had no retirement, no medical, and might have no job during the winter months. His $30 a month might work up to the low income of maybe $1,000 a month today at best. But you did not have minimum wage standards either, and his food and bunkbed were at no added charge, and he did not pay taxes, unemployment, social security, union dues, or put money into medical care, so his money went further.
Point is, the government keeps slashing away at the money coming in on the promise of someday giving something back, as the money declines in value by the fact that it is more and more a kind of I.O.U that never pays off, the value plummets. When the plummeting is over decades, it is less evident. But when the rate increases to being monthly, it is hard to miss. And you cannot believe the government's experts efforts to give you the facts, they are there to serve the Administration and will always color the facts to make it agree with the government in power's position. It's been said that you can make statistics agree with any point of view, and this has been proven over and over again. Look at the numbers about inflation and unemployment as examples.
The government lies mostly when it is in the wrong on things, but it does not change its ways, so it it is wrong, things will only get worse.
