Costco now selling platinum bars.
Takes up the same space, is cheaper so more will sell, and they can have better margins
Most importantly. The fever for all real things/metals is spreading.
If your mom thought owning a bar of gold was cool… wait until she buys 3 platinum ones for the same price.

This is proof that the country is worried about the dollar and inflation. Is Costco secretly seeding their customers with gold to ensure they can buy future goods?
Hong Kong: Customs intercepted an outbound medium goods vehicle at the Shenzhen Bay Control Point following a risk assessment and X-ray scan, uncovering 26 black bags concealed in the chassis frame under the cargo compartment.
Inside, officers seized 106 live turtles and 654 live lizards, totaling 760 endangered reptiles believed to be protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
The man had a thick beard and was wearing a long dark coat, a cap, and a backpack when he placed the explosive in the store. The police think the suspect may come from Germany. He was seen entering the Netherlands near the Overijssel village of Glanerbrug on foot. After visiting the supermarket in Enschede, he headed back in that direction.
“We hope that someone can tell us more about his escape route,” the police spokesperson told the broadcaster. “Perhaps he traveled part of the route from Glanerbrug to the supermarket in a vehicle, or he got into a vehicle at the border in Germany. All information regarding this is welcome.”

It pretty clear now that the banks and banking lobby is behind the immigration policy.
Either that or the government is making it up themselves.

The Australian government appears to be running ads in Arabic encouraging non-citizens to use its 5% deposit first home buyers scheme.
Your taxes are paying for ads, that aren’t even in English, to put non-citizens in Australian homes.
Housing should be prioritised for Australian citizens first.
