[Hero_Image] High Rollers Allowed, But No Camels! We just had the biggest — and most drastic — operational change in our company’s history. I believe it will have profound effects on our editors and readers alike. I’m urging you to listen to a short memo from our VP of Publishing. He explains why, after 20 years, this decision was 100% necessary… […and why this “fix” could have a significant impact on your personal wealth.]( “I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity. Who uses a machete to cut through red tape.” - CAKE [Chris Campbell] CHRIS CAMPBELL Dear Reader, On this day in 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Potato Control Law. This led to the short-lived Potato Tax stamps. [Potato Tax stamps] In the throes of the Great Depression, you see, the New Deal ushered in the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA). The Potato Control Act might have been a small tweak to this script, but it alone led to massive uproar around the country. For starters, the law limited potato exports and required every fifth row to be destroyed. Farmers received quotas, with a tax on overproduction. Those who obeyed earned tax-free stamps. If you bought potatoes not in approved containers with official stamps, the first offense cost $1,000. Repeat, and you risked a year in jail. Needless to say, farmers weren't pleased. Here's a declaration from 1935 signed by folks in West Amwell Township, New Jersey: That we protest against and declare that we will not be bound by the 'Potato Control Law,' an unconstitutional measure recently enacted by the United States Congress. We shall produce on our own land such potatoes as we may wish to produce and will dispose of them in such manner as we may deem proper. In 1936, the Supreme Court declared the Potato Act unconstitutional, leading to the program's abolishment. Alas… If only more dumb laws met the same fate. For example, the 1958 law that makes it a federal crime to offer futures contracts on onions is still alive and kicking. That one’s dumb. But it’s far from the dumbest one. [CHART] Could Inflation Hit 20%+ In 2023? [Click here to learn more]( Take a close look at this scary chart pictured here… What you see is the money supply in America… And as you can see, the number of dollars in circulation has exploded in the last few years. In fact, more than 80% of all dollars to ever exist have been printed since just 2020 alone! Which is why some say inflation could soon explode even higher than it is now, to 20% or more. And if you’re at or near retirement age you must take action now to protect yourself… otherwise you risk losing everything.

In Arizona, it's against the law for donkeys to sleep in bathtubs. And in California, it's unlawful to whistle for a lost canary before 7 AM. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can face arrest. In Georgia, you can't even tie a giraffe to a streetlamp. (And here I thought this was America.) Here’s a good one… In Kentucky, it's illegal to dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale UNLESS more than six are for sale at once. In Maine, you can't legally have Christmas decorations up after January 14th. And in Nebraska, bar owners can't sell beer unless they're simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup. In Ohio, my home state, it's illegal to get a fish drunk. (But what's life without a little rebellion?) In Texas, it's forbidden to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel. In Utah, no one may walk down the street carrying a paper bag containing a violin. In Vermont, women need permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. If that last one feels out of left field, in Washington it's illegal to pretend one's parents are rich. And in Wyoming, you can't take a picture of a rabbit from January to April without an official permit. And last but not least: It's illegal to ride a camel on the road in Vegas (a throwback to when camels were once apparently used as transportation in the state). While those oddball laws are worth a laugh, they pull back the curtain on a rusting gear in our grand machine of governance. Think about it: if an antiquated decree about which tie color is "appropriate" or how to properly handle pickles can hang around like a ghost in the system, what does that say about the oversight of the real heavy-duty regulations? It's a glaring testament to the bureaucratic sloth that lets outdated laws sit comfortably, sipping their proverbial tea. And it’s a short hop from harmless old mandates to real red tape that binds the hands of innovation and human progress. Though we passionately champion the idea of "sunset clauses" or "sunsetting," we're no dreamers. Instead, our mavens here at Paradigm excel in the delicate dance of "pivot and adapt," ensuring we're always a stride ahead of the herd, while navigating the rules with finesse. That’s only one reason we’re proud to invite you to… The 2023 Paradigm Summit In a world of red tape, our gurus here at Paradigm seek out the byroads, the hidden passages, the secret handshakes. The mission? To decode the convoluted rules and find the golden opportunities nestled within. While others might see insurmountable obstacles, our experts see fields of possibilities.
