I don’t think they give a foetid dingo’s kidney about the PMs or currencies. At least, not as an object for specific support or attack. Rather they are concentrating on what is good for them. Putin is incredibly pragmatic – if he could benefit from a strong dollar, he would use it. He announced Russia would be buying gold in September, October and November, and it looks like he is. Why he would announce that I have no idea – but I suppose it really doesn’t affect the price, if you are a serious, large buyer, it’ll go up anyway. Putin holds all the aces. Gas, oil, gold, palladium, chromium, wheat, vodka; allies in Brazil, India, China …. BRICS and Co really don’t have to care about outsiders.

But I think Trump has it back to front. I think corporate tax should be the first to go.

I cannot see the logic of taxing the means of production. That must be the most regressive tax ever. No company tax means:

More money for investment, instead of giving money to the government; and/or

more money for dividends which will include peoples retirement funds if they have stocks; and/or

more money for wages.

It does mean you must make sure that employees can’t take benefits tax free, but, overall a huge benefit to the companies will be not having to comply with the mountains of tax legislation. This will inevitably mean the loss of millions of tax accountants and lawyers – Elon, take note.

Gives a competitive advantage internationally.

A drawback is that capital inflows would be enormous and destabilising. Capital controls are usually needed to prevent outflow of capital, but here Trump would need ones preventing inflow.

A couple of years of this and American industry will be booming, taking back production from China, Mexico, Vietnam, India etc. and income tax revenues will be rising. Tack on Elon’s slashing of govt waste and regulations, higher employment (lower welfare benefits), RFK’s MAHA (lower health care costs) and now you can cut income tax from a sound basis. Starting by raising the tax free income level so the poorest benefit first.

Sort of dawned on me that the BRICS meeting has been somewhat of a non-event for pm’s this week. I guess it has been a bit of a “sell the news” conference, but no big currency announcements from them and I haven’t heard anything about when they’ll be up and running. I suppose the point is that pm’s haven’t been affected as much as I thought they might be. We are having a pullback, but it seems pretty normal for the moves up we’ve experienced.

I suppose now that I’ve said something we’ll get waterfalled. We’re down 1% in silver tonight and $9 in gold, off the lows and nothing too crazy yet. Dollar looks flat and rates down a little to 4.195% SM up a little. Oil flat, Bitcoin down 1%

Hopefully we’ll end the week with a whimper.

My wife and I voted early yesterday, and the place was packed. Judging by the amount of Republican voting guides in the trash just outside the voting room, I’d say that Republicans were probably voting at a 3-1 clip – at least. People are pretty serious about this and intense, one guy saying to a poll worker after putting his vote in the tabulation machine that “my vote better count, this machine better not screw it up.” People are stretched, stressed, and pissed about it. Pissed about all the lying and B.S. cheating and inflation squeezing them. Could just see it in their faces. There were a couple Demonrat women holding Harris/Walz signs outside the building and asking if we wanted a Demonrat voting guide. I said “we’re good” and didn’t see anyone else running toward them. Another Dem woman was outside lobbying people for her vote for County Commissioner, shoving cards at us. Only women were out there for the Demons, quite telling. I can’t imagine they were feeling all that great about things after the reactions they were getting. Somehow, I think they’re so aloof that they don’t have a clue that this is not a normal election, this is for all the marbles, and most people want nothing to do with them.

My two cents.

McCullough says that spike proteins are dissolved by Nattokinase.  It’s fermented bean curd, available as a supplement.  Tell her it’s for building healthy blood.  That should take care of any imported pollutants.
