Gold standard

>gold standard
Are there actually people on this board that think this is a good idea? How dafuq would you implement that with 20 tril in debt?

Cancel the debt. Revalue gold to 50k an ounce. Hang the moneychangers. Start building space elevators.

You erase the debt. It's fake.

The US can't, but solvent countries can.

our money is still mostly backed by our gold reserves

Whatever system Hitler had is what I want done. He didn't base the money on gold or debt (like our current reserve system does.) It was based on labor, I'm not sure on the specifics though.

I dunno if this is bait or if you actually think this..

It's still a fiat system, just less shitty than the debt based fiat.

by labor do you mean productivity? gdp? full employment? because that just sounds pretty dumb.

I would love to go back two centuries to be part of stupids imperialistic wars for a lot of Shinny metal for the sake of it
