"I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can't stop." - F.A. Hayek 1984

    Yeah, I wonder what…

    Don’t get your hopes up, if we went back to the gold standard Billionaires would just corner the market and fuck us anyways. We’re well past that course of action.

      Unfortunately nearly every graph on that page is intentionally misleading. If you actually adjust the graphs for inflation (where it’s relevant), 1971 looks like just another year.

      Lying with statistics!
