You want to believe that we have gone so low that it is only up from here, you are always proven wrong. :(

One can be an ostrich and put head in the ground or see it for what it is. Imminent irrefutable collapse.

The sheer apathy…

I’m happy to buy from Hamid Mir حامد میر’s guys for the price he is quoting below. As Ammar Khan explained on the recent Pakistonomy, the market price of a commodity is what you get it for in a large amount. No one I know is quoting <300 for USD, and no large amounts available.

Pay taxes to fund thugs to pick up peaceful protestors, rig elections, carve out plots, drive around in 4x4s and buy shiny things. Best.
