Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?

Informed. The word you were looking for. 

The History article about the gold standard is like all the others correct in the confiscation, the bank closures, and subsequent revaluation from $20.67 to $35. What it leaves out, what these sorts of articles always do is spread the narrative rather than inform. The truth they would tell if the article was truly intended to inform is the revaluation artificially inflated the money supply and devalued everyone's savings by over 60%. They don't tell you this because that would be saying the truth, that inflation is theft. 

Informed. Totally the word you were looking for.

Markets were 3 times more unstable when we were on the gold standard with more recurring recessions. Having finite monetary resources is just another way of saying there's nothing we can do to help you: you're on your own unless you can buy your local politician. 

Insane it is.

All the best,

Rodman , you are ignorant . To explain why would be a waste of time .

@millercarbon- That was a large part of FDR’s Raw Deal.      Anyone, actually interested in what, "fiat money"(ie: backed by nothing) will eventually mean to a nation’s economy, should read: https://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/091298645X
