John Rubino: Buffet buys gold, food inflation, California’s wealth tax, the collapse of NYC/Chicago

Financial Survival Network, Released on 8/18/20

Food prices rising:

“From February to June, meat and poultry prices rose nearly 11%, with beef and veal prices seeing the highest rise, spiking 20%. For pork the increase was about 8.5%. People are paying more for other staples, too: During the same time period, egg prices shot up 10%, and shoppers shelled out 4% more for cereals and fresh vegetables.”

California on verge of passing wealth tax and is considering big increase in income tax– would raise top income tax rate to 16%

Are Chicago and NYC over? Chicago shutting its downtown at 9pm each night, NYC sees massive increase in shootings, subway system going bankrupt, apartments empty, people moving out in droves.
