You are most definitely not free to just trade gold holdings for anything without disclosing it to the authorities in the US, or any other nation I know of. That it can be done illegally, I may agree with. At that point, it's not just

Think of Europeans, mathematically the idea that Europeans will ever retire doesn't make sense. It'd require 80% or 90% income tax, maybe even more, because there aren't enough kids to split the burden on. Even in the US this

A lot of people in Europe don't believe in democracy and that "important" decisions shouldn't be left to the people. That people are stupid, and will never vote to advance things. So other methods must be found. This com

You neglected to mention that the people without jobs were totally dependent and almost enslaved to the people that did have jobs. This happened despite (in theory and -mostly- in pracice) legal equality between the sexes (in the west). Eco

Great find. But sort of lowers my opinion of Maya culture. Having city locations decided by star constellations ? Sounds like this is on the insane side even for theocracies.

I mean nothing more than that if you were to put the S&P 500 graph over the last 15 years and extremely naively look at it, you'd conclude it was very high at the moment. Naively it would seem that it will see 1600 before it sees,
