No, it means going down to the mall with a 50 and seeing what you can bring
home.
Cheap chinese goods, yeah, done by slave labor.
If you can cause people to think dog turds have value, you'd never stumble
across one again, in your lifetime!
True enough. But I've never tried to convince people of such things. It may
be dull, but I tend to stick to the evidence.
I think you live in a fantasy world where you attempt to down play
reality itself, whether you are one who does that just to make idiots of
others, or are, in fact, an idiot yourself might be debatable ... I
suspect the latter ... you are not joking, you really do live in la-la land.
If people knew just what value was in those little pieces of green paper
you can't even wipe your arse with, properly, there would be a run on the
banks ... wholesale bedlam would follow.
Hmmm...something like realizing what "value" is in those little pieces of
gold? They'd be Ok for fishing sinkers, but you'd have to paint them with
flat paint to knock down the shine. Otherwise, not much.
As, I have pointed out, gold has NEVER been worthless, since the dawn of
mankind. *If you have a tribe, a village, a society, you have gold with
a value. *In a technological society, its' value is much increased.
The term, "Good as gold" exists for a good reason ... in my whole
lifetime it has only increased in value ... a dollar, when I was a kid
would buy 20 candy bars, today it buys one ... a dollar, by candy bar
index, is worth 1/20 of what it was then. *Back then 1/50th of an ounce
of gold was worth a dollar, today 1/1487th of an ounce is worth a dollar
... blows all your stupidity right out in the open!
Most people are stupid, they simply "believe" and, therefore, it is so ...
again, akin to that leap of faith which allows one to believe in god.
I'd find it easier to take you seriously, John, if you showed any evidence
of having studied any of this stuff. It sounds like you make it up as you go
along.
I don't see any possibility of ever taking you seriously ... you are
either a liar or a nut case, you just can't take those seriously.

Wrong...for most of human history gold has been WORTHLESS.
