EDIT: Denver had 3 ft of snow today. EEOS is probably snowed in. The Zephyr didn’t make it thru the snow today.

Inflation Story: Brand New 1975 Chevy K5 Blazer Sold For $112,000 on 2/25/21 These days A Factor of 15 or 20 times More From 1975 To today
This Truck looks like somebody bought it, and never used it. The $6,350 he paid in 1975 was about 6 months of middle class cops pay, $12,000 back then. Today the cops or middle class is conservatively over $200,000k when you add benefits.
So 6 months of the same pay is $100,000 today. So, the $112,000 is TODAY, almost the exactly what the truck cost new. Six months of middle class man hours then, and today.
The storage 46 years of storage was FREE. The new owner did NOT have to pay a premium just because its a collectible today. New owner paid the same in man hours and dollars as the original owner.
$55,200 worth of storage at $100/month. Its a STEAL at $112,000. A new Chevy 4X4 pickup today I think is $70,000+? But not as well made or simple to fix. For the original owner to break even, he would need $112,000 + $55,200 or $167,200.

“The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation. The whole grim apparatus of oppression and coercion — policemen, customs guards, penal courts, prisons, in some countries even executioners — had to be put into action in order to destroy the gold standard. Solemn pledges were broken, retroactive laws were promulgated, provisions of constitutions and bills of rights were openly defied. And hosts of servile writers praised what the governments had done and hailed the dawn of the fiat-money millennium.” -Ludwig Von Mises

I think Meghan Markle will be the 2nd woman US President. I expect Kamala Harris will be the first US President – probably before this year is up, certainly by sometime next year…
Maddog this one’s for you LOL
Is Meghan Markle already preparing a bid to be America’s first woman President? Duchess of Sussex will ‘use furore over Oprah interview to launch political career as she networks among Democrats’, claims senior Labour figure with strong links to Washington

That is the SCARIEST thing I have read about the pandemic yet!
Leave it to Fauci and WHO to do just exactly the WRONG thing.
No VAX for me. Building my natural immunity… and social isolating.
