sometimes I wonder what conservitives are thinking... like I do not understand this whole gold standard obsession
Maybe something about gold being
I’ve had to navigate older family members through so many gold scams lately
Bold of you to assume conservatives are thinking
I mean it would be irrational to think they are not, Libs (and there subset of conservitives) do think and have motivations, even if they are not entirely rational to an outside observer, it needs to both make sense to them, and especialy the case for libs, to the Capitalist overclass. I can understand why the workers would feel the gold standard would help, it just has the gut reaction that making the dollar actually worth something real and tangable would help, what I cannot understand is where the capitalists think they will see any gain in this
A lot of them are gold bugs and think going back to the gold standard will make them rich.
