• Gold Hits $2023 (all time high?)

    From Paul Popinjay@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 4 08:08:28 2023
    I think that's all-time high.

    Silver at $25.

    Like I said before, THE DOLLAR IS DONE.

    According to this chart, gold was over $2,500 in February 1980, which would be something like $10,000 with inflation.

    Reading it again, it appears that those figures are inflation-adjusted.

    That chart is already inflation adjusted.

    We actually posted at about the same, but really, you should have known the nominal price of gold was never anywhere near $2500 in 1980.

    That's why I was a little surprised. However, I don't buy the standard measure of inflation.

    1. How could you buy it when the Fed changes the inflation formula any time it suits their needs.
    2. the price of frozen lasagna is how you measure inflation. Cliff note: It's gone up a lot in the last year.

    I stopped at Panda Express today. A bowl of Kung Pao Chicken and small root beer. Over $11.

    970mg of sodium in only 280 calories? WTF? Are you actually *trying* to kill yourself? That's even worse than riskytard's soyboy burgers.

    Can't stand root beer. It smells like Germolene, a brand of antiseptic from when I was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germolene
