Really?????

Afternoon everyone…..

Things are really getting bad for my business. Our lovely president is doing everything in his power to put me out of business!!!!

I’m a small shop, it’s just me and that means I don’t have the money or space to buy materials in bulk orders. With all the turmoil going on with Canada recently it’s putting a major strain on me not only financially but also with getting specific items that I absolutely need.

There is only one company in the entire United States that makes furniture grade plywood. The problem is they are in the Midwest, very small in comparison to all of the companies in Canada and don’t ship past Ohio. So I’m out of luck with them.

My main supplier was told directly from the two biggest furniture grade plywood companies in Canada, that they are not allowed currently to ship any products to the United States.

While I was on vacation that very same supplier sent out an email with price increases for that very same plywood. Those increases were extremely steep, putting prices pretty close to pricing during Covid.

At this rate I won’t be working much longer with no chance of getting the main materials that are required for my work. I’m not in a great mood.

Enjoy this beauty…

This is the 2024 Perth Mint Chinese Myths and Legends Four Guardian Coin. I love how they tied all four mythical and legendary figures on one coin without making it overly congested.

Here is a blurb on the coin from Bullionstar….
In ancient China, the Four Guardians were seen as powerful symbols of protection. These mythical creatures were often featured in palace architecture and important ceremonial items, as emperors believed their presence would help protect the nation and ensure peace. Each guardian was tied to specific elements and seasons, with rituals held in their honor. Now, the 2024 1 oz Australian Silver Chinese Myths and Legends Four Guardian Coin.

One of the Four Guardians is the Azure Dragon, also called Qinglong. The Azure Dragon is associated with the spring season and the wood element, symbolizing strength, wealth, and good fortune. In ancient China, it was linked to specific star constellations, and its influence was considered most powerful during the spring equinox, making it the most celebrated of the Four Guardians.

Now for the coin….

And thought that lumber prices were steep to begin with on my side of the border when I got my fence fixed. Adding another 50% on the cost of your Bill of materials would be shocking. 70% of Canada's business goes to the USA, I'm left wondering how our economy is going to deal with this. We're already well into a recession and our PM is only making this worse. I'm almost convinced that this is deliberate sabotage to kneecap North America. And who benefits? China? England?
It's why we Stack precious metals!
