cool post writer missed a whole bunch of history that would have been nice. lots of gold now in the oval office one might note. not sure, other than being outlandishly in bad taste, wtf if there's any meaning. no put from the FED, and orangetang is pissed off. so finally, it's been soooo long, he's gonna go after the fed. 110 days or something LOL. and no put from Pissant either. but really, isn't the interest rate setting pretty much a dead thang? the numbers are so out of whack, as we've been saying for 3 decades, does it fucking matter what the interest rate is, as decreed by money printers, the fiat interest rate? I think for the first time in my entire career, MARKETS are setting interest rates for USA, just as they did to an imploding europe 2008 or whatever. I'm not sure anybody fucking cares if official rates get lowered other than usa banks and such. World is driving them up currently. loss of control? power out at the new york fed? I ponder.

Grok just told me that I can produce gold for $1,300 per ounce. That's a lot cheaper than $3,300 per ounce that people are paying now. Mining companies must be a good investment. I'd better stake some claims. There's gold in them thar hills. Maybe I should review Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics from 70 years ago as Carl Barks covered gold well. Disguising it as corn didn't work because pack rats found the huge load and swapped it for corn. I note that Uncle Scrooge's money bin was filled with actual money, not gold. That was when money was not MMT theory stuff (Magic Money Tree) but was set at $35 per ounce. Better would be fancy physics for mercury nuclear management. The current silly physics involves large hadron collider energy to add and remove protons. And radioactive nuclei are a problem. Removing a proton should be easy with the right probabilistic physics and some antimatter positron and anti proton streams. I don't want to disclose my trade secrets or prototype, so won't elaborate here. King Midas had such a system if I remember rightly. Limiting production would be essential. Diamonds have run into a problem lately. Mqurice
