Yes but I dont pay commercial rents at least not directly. And food prices are greatly inflating ( we agree on the causes for this but the fact is that food prices are greatly inflating ). Best,

Have you priced a new pickup lately? Especially a heavy duty one?? A nice Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel will set you back about $75,000!

anyone have any thoughts on the real estate market, along with the “inflation” issue / gold prices?

It’s a 4x4 Laramie 2500, but certainly not the top of the line.

Farmers and business buy them at that price. Save 50% on income tax and it only costs you $37,000 net.............

Save 50% on income tax and it only costs you $37,000 net............. Maybe 33%. But then there is sales tax. And the tax deduction is only if there was a profit. Many farmers are having a bad year, again.

You don’t know what your are talking about
32% fed income tax
15% Self employment tax
8% state tax income tax
ok, I rounded up, just easier that way.
Bottom line, do you want $37,000 in the bank or a “$75,000 pickup. 45% discount drives a lot of decisions. Whether they are good decisions is another matter.

Might have made a bad move selling all my gold investments.

Might have made a bad move selling all my gold investments. You think that was bad?
Now, you're probably not going to believe this, but I had all my gold coins and all my guns in my old canoe out in the middle of this big old lake for no particular reason. And then you won't believe what happened next..... The strangest thing! I mean who would have thunk it? Seriously!

Not everyone who needs a new pickup will fall into the highest tax bracket. A 33% deduction figure, if eligible under 179, assuming you actually made a profit in the particular endeavor you're making the deduction against (whether farm or business,) is a good rule of thumb. As for your other question; I prefer things I need verses excess dollars in a bank, created out of nothing, and taxed every time they change hands. Many states also have tax brackets. The self-employment tax and alternative minimum tax are separate considerations, of course.
Kudos for taking all into consideration tho. Most folks only think of federal income taxes when considering costs.

Im ready to sell a few ounces. How much discount should I expect from spot gold prices? gold bullion COINS from reputable countries should sell or at or near spot
gold bullion rounds, bars, etc. should sell at 3-5% below spot

I’m pretty sure you can get better than spot if you sell them on Ebay. Check what they’re going for there first.

When there are no cops around you are on your own. Live in a Republican State and a Republican city and you'll be fine.

"... a shiny metal that you cant eat, it cant keep you warm, wont fuel a vehicle, wont produce electricity, etc" I think no matter how bad things get there is always somebody around who is so wealthy that they don't need more food, more heat, more fuel, or more electricity. They recognize the inherent scarcity of gold and will accumulate it.
For thousands of years an ounce of gold has been worth the price of a nice suit of clothes. The U.S. just spent several trillion dollars that it didn't have in order to stabilize the economy. I would bet on gold in the near term and against any currency.
