It’s fucked to tell the citizenry they can’t have silver and gold and they have to turn it all in, only to allow it at a markup shortly after.

But I don’t think pegging the dollar to gold makes sense in the modern age. Do we really want our monetary supply to be upended when a new gold deposit is found? Obviously our current monetary policy of “print more more bro” sucks, but I don’t feel like gold backed is the way either.

Hey ChatGPT, can you just…uh…run our stores?

Hey, absolutely! I can definitely help with that and it sounds like a really interesting idea…

I was really hoping the trail cam picture was real. It is not :(

I don’t think this is correct.

• I did a few reverse image searches and found this image, but couldn’t really find any attribution. The timestamps on the results I found were quite old. Pretty sure this isn’t AI.

• there’s a clearly visible Coca Cola bottle shown attached to the gas price sign. This style of bottle wasn’t produced until 1977. https://www.historyoasis.com/post/coca-cola-bottle-design-history

• for gas to be 22 cents, this would need to be pre-1950’s. In 1977, gas was around $0.60 on average. https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fact-741-august-20-2012-historical-gasoline-prices-1929-2011

I’m pretty sure this is a modern image and the price shown is $2.11 (and 9/10’s of a cent).

Edit: I’m just seeing what community I’m posting it, but I’m leaving this comment.

That’s so interesting. I’m not an avid shooter but I’ve been to a handful of ranges and it’s never even been asked of me.
