What IS profitable (but time consuming to set up) is coin collecting
A morgan silver dollar (say average condition) purchased in bulk sets you back around 23USD per coin if you know where to look.
In Australia that same coin will fetch 50AUD+ from the right buyer. When I’d visit America I’d spend 1K+ on morgan silver dollars, bring them back and make up to 70-80AUD per coin at times… I got 120$AUD on one occasion for a coin I spent 22USD on.
There’s a huge markup for collectable coins here. I used to collect coins, stopped when I moved back to Aus because of how grim and expensive the scene is here
Coin roll hunting isn’t even a thing here! When I was a kiddo in America you could buy cartons worth of rolled dimes and quarters to search through!
I’ve been thinking about buying US silver coins in bulk (bags of 100$ face value) and selling the coins individually. Provided I can find buyers, the potential profit margin is very large
Don’t steal my idea!
Edit: appears morgan silver dollars are now 30-35$ a piece if purchased in bulk! What happened?
I still have quite a few of them.
Appears the price of silver has gone up quite a bit…
It doesn’t and that’s not what I implied. And there are older people who have hardly developed an intellect greater than younger people despite being decades older. There is no shortage of old simpletons. There are older people whose words on matters I couldn’t care less about and I admit to big boomer bashing.
But an older person has more, in some cases, decades more, life experience and observation and dealings with people, and likely more responsibilities.
In my case, I lived for 37 of my 43 years in one of the most ethnically, racially, and economically diverse places on earth, NYC. So this means when young people about half my age try to school me on what people are like, considering my experience that came with location and age, I’m going to take what they say accordingly.
I’ve never taken politicians or the media seriously. I didn’t even take some teachers seriously.
There goes that recurring theme of the youngins here: adults with responsibilities are beneath them. They are free, unburdened by responsibilities and the mostly mundane activities of us schlubs.
To them, most adult men are bored, miserable, and desperate. We are anchored by bills, children, older family members, jobs, and the like. We cannot do what we really wanna do.
The truth is, the woke hate the nuclear family. Another way for them to destroy it is by making us believe caring for our children’s futures is evil. It’s unfair. It’s white supremacy. Then of course they, in the form of government, get to take whatever wealth citizens leave behind and redistribute it to those who depend upon the government for their ability to exist.
Before asking that, ask yourself what solutions you have come up with, and here’s the important part, that have worked.
Like I said, there are solutions that work and solutions that don’t. Only those with an agenda care about who comes up with them.
It’s not about solutions that I came up with. The solutions I believe in haven’t been tried yet for the betterment of the masses only to benefit the elite(think MMT).
Are you talking about inheritance here?
And slaves didn’t even get the option. Oh wait, they weren’t citizens they were slaves. Only 2/3rds of a human.
There is a country that undertook an almost religious mission (under a concerted pressure from religious fundamentalists) to end slavery and in the process voluntarily incurred massive financial and military costs, so much that it’s supposedly self-defeating irrationality was ridiculed by its contemporaries, not least in the American South
