Over 1,000+ years, 1 productive cow has consistently cost ~0.5–1 oz of gold. Ancient Rome/Greece/Medieval England: ~1 oz gold per cow.
Today (2026): Cow-calf pairs ~$3,500–$6,000
Gold ~$4,400–$4,500/oz → still ~0.8–1.1 oz gold per cow.
Beef cost is not rising.
Dear US Government,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to opt out of the funding of your endeavors from this point forward.
My family currently does not see any value provided for what we are paying.
Given the fact that American governance is predicated upon “consent of the governed”, as expressed in our founding documents, please accept this legal notice that neither myself, nor my family, consent any longer.
Thank you.
When Stocks and Gold Rise Together, Pay Attention.
That’s not confidence.
That’s mispricing.
Gold doesn’t chase growth.
It front-runs stress.
History says when both rise, something underneath is breaking.
During the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis, roughly 1.7 million vehicles were repossessed in a single year.
At the time, that was considered catastrophic.
Today, auto repossessions are already back near — and in some measures above — pre-GFC levels, and they’re still rising.
Governments always face the same trap:
• Raise taxes → political suicide
• Cut spending → backlash
So they choose the option most people don’t understand.
They debase the currency.

Just arrived in DC for a lobby day. I'll be spending time with legislators and share the importance of flexibility along with why as independent contractors, we too deserve no taxes on tips. #DashRootsDc#notaxontips#taxistheft
