Observation: While the the silver spot runs, the margin increases between SLV and spot. They're stomping the calls. Any corroboration? I keep no spreadsheet.

Observation: The menial labor shortage may be real. Springfield Ohio got headlines for 'cats & dogs' yet the imported help rumored to work at a chicken processing plant. Ever butchered chickens? (I have.) Now I hear, reliable second hand, we have the same community imported near a hog processing plant in Logansport Indiana. Ever butchered a hog? (I have.) Have American demographics, or work ethics, or ?, become so dire we need to break the law to eat?

There definitely is a correlation.

It used to be more pronounced, but is less prevalent now… but not something to ignore.

Re labor. I get it.

Can anyone change a tire, jump start a battery, or fix a bike chain now?

Menial for sure… but also simple engineering

Weve become abstractions

PSA:

Kazan BRICS summit agenda https://brics-russia2024.ru/en/summit/programme/

Most of the real meetings only occur on Oct 24th, followed by a Putin press conference.

So this is where we might expect any new information to be shared.

Probably around 2pm-5pm Kazan time = 7am-10am EST on Oct 24th.
