"not worth a continental". Fractional-reserve banking. Con Job. Ponzi.

So, ID, as a hypothetical, if all you had was gold (which you couldn't exchange for paper since it was worthless) and no one wanted your gold (since they might exchange it for paper and that would be worthless), no clothes, no food, no housing, no car, and so on, would you be a happy camper?

I draw worthless paper. I cannot, at the bank, exchange one dollar for a dollars worth of gold.

Do you understand the concept of Ponzi?

General characteristics of fascist economiesAn inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme,[4] meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controls production and allocation of resources. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.[5]

Fascism operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. Their aim was to promote superior individuals and weed out the weak.[6] In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class.[7] Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."[8] Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.[9]

Kinda looks like the good Ol USA today due to the one party system. The citizen credit card. Since we unhooked from gold...

The gov't got off the gold and silver standard for a very simple reason. They didn't have enough Gold or silver to cover the value of the money.

Money is valued against other currencies so their really isn't any need to have a standard that fluctuates everytime some idiot starts a war in Iraq

The conspiracy theory that there is no gold left has been around for many years now. It is being continued by the anarchists that want to bring down society as we know it. And yes we have them here at Seti, even we are not immune!

not helped, asked to not attend is more the line.
Jocks in College class rooms typically slow things down learningwise. They are forever asking questions because they just don't understand the material presented to them.

My former father-in-law was an ROTC commander. He had deals going with the basketball and football teams at the college. The jocks got C's as long as they never graced his classes with their presence.

OK, so the US and most or all other countries detached from the gold standard in the 70s. Does it matter? Does this really mean they can no longer tell how much your work, or my work, or a loaf of bread is worth, relative to each other?

I don't know enough to answer that one! Gold Standard
