Biden Wants to Hike Taxes by $7 Trillion Dollars

by Mish Shedlock, Mish Talk:

If Democrats win the trifecta with a clean sweep of the Senate, House, and White House in November, taxes would rise by $7 trillion over 10 years.

The House Ways and Means Committee reports The Biden Tax Hike Will Likely Exceed $7 Trillion.

I believe they mean would not will.

Life Without Running Water – Part 2

by E. Homesteader, Survival Blog:

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.)

COLLECTION FREQUENCY AND USAGE AMOUNTS

Living in such a dry environment for so many years in Colorado instilled a natural water conservancy in us. Now that we live next to a lake and have abundant rainfall throughout the year, we feel very fortunate to have so much water “at our fingertips.” Currently, our water usage is very low since we don’t have a flush toilet, washing machine, or plants/garden that need watering. Until recently, we didn’t have an indoor shower, either. Laundry and car washing are done in our nearby small town. On average, we fill our drinking containers about once a week. The wash water collection varies, depending on the amount of rain or snow. But if it has been dry, we pull water from the lake about once a week. Regardless, we always keep an eye on our water levels and refill the containers before we run out.

PALISADES RADIO BOB COLEMAN & STEVE ST. ANGELO ROUNDTABLE: Precious Metals Shortsqueeze & Trouble In The Wholesale-Dealer Market

by Steve St. Angelo, SRSRocco Report:

To truly understand the troubling “Dislocation” between higher gold and silver prices and the hemorrhaging of the Wholesale-Dealer Industry, you must watch this roundtable discussion with Bob Coleman and I, hosted by Tom from Palisades Radio.

Unfortunately, many of the precious metals supposed analysts or “Influencers” who suggest that with higher gold and silver prices, there will be tightness in retail bullion supply and higher premiums HAVE NO IDEA of the current state of the Wholesale-Dealer Market, which is literally CHOKING on inventory.

Death Of The U.S. Economy By the Numbers – The Latest Blow To Americans Prove That The Statistics Do Not Lie, But The MSM Certainly Does As They Continue To Gaslight The Nation

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

No matter what MSM outlet one chooses we see political pundits telling Americans the U.S. economy is doing great, thriving even.

They tell us breathlessly that inflation is down, which it is, from its peak, yet it is not only still above the target rate of 2%, but is beginning to rise again as of March’s release of February’s numbers. They claim that unemployment is down, yet those numbers are on the rise again as well.

The reason why the media is so desperate to convince Americans that they can’t believe their own eyes, wallets or bank accounts is simple. They will do anything, including straight up lying, to protect Biden and get him reelected, rather than see four more years of Trump.

Guest Post: “Costco Selling Gold and Silver”, by AGXIIK and Renozep

by Turd Ferguson, TF Metals Report:

Costco is selling gold and silver on line. Are they anticipating future consumer trends? Or are they getting Sound and Real money into their customer’s hands due to issues with the dollar and CBDCs?

Which one is it?

Something totally new? A marketing test run? A means to bring in new customers? Satisfying a survey that said some people want to buy precious metals? Or is it something else?

Silver Poised to Play Catch Up to Gold

by Clint Siegner, Silver Seek:

Gold’s breakout to new all-time nominal highs is making headlines. On Friday, the price settled at just under $2,200/oz, after gaining almost $100/oz for the week.

Silver actually outperformed gold on a percentage basis. The white metal gained $1.17/oz, or 5%, as compared to gold’s 4.5% gain.

The difference is that silver is stuck in the middle of the range where it has traded for the past four years. It is roughly $5/oz below its 2020 high and $25 below its all-time high.

List Of Global Airlines With The Most Plane Crashes

from Great Game India:

For obvious reasons, people have been enthralled by the enormous skies above them long before the Improved crew emergency training and enhanced satellite tracking were among the safety enhancements brought about by the widely publicized 2014 disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.

In addition, aircraft models themselves are frequently the root cause of accidents, separate from pilot mistakes. Due to problems with the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, a flight control software intended to prevent stalling, two Boeing 737 Max aircraft crashed in 2018–19.

LOUISIANA’S BULLION BILL AND SOME NECESSARY CLARIFICATIONS

by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:

After last week’s blog about the South Dakota bullion and unit-of-account bill, I received an  email from Catherine Austin Fitts that the movement to state bullion depositories might be the latest gimik and squeeze play from the banksters.  We’ll get to why that possibility should never be ignored in a moment, because the Louisiana bill, as written, contains some telltale signs that her misgivings are well-founded.  But I also want to use this opportunity to clarify my thinking for the record, and to remind readers here that if you read my individual blogs and do not contextualize them within the wider body of my thinking about financial and physical systems, that you will be bound to misinterpret and forget what I’ve stated on previous occasions. Absent any repudiation by me, those earlier statements still form part of my thinking.
