Bye Bye Gold Nonsense

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I've seen those "buy gold" commercials during Freedom Watch on the Fox Business Channel, and in some "oh noes, teh new wurld order" magazine my mother found.  I always thought it was bullsh-t.

It would be best to stock up on something that would be of value during an apocalypse: alcohol.

Think I read an article where after the Russian Revolution that vodka was worth more than gold.  Also remember the end of Schindler's List.

Funny, I've actually watched Glenn Beck to try and make sense of his retarded economic theories like QE2 will cause $16 Hershey bars and boxes of Domino powdered sugar will cost over $100. 

He must prefer small candy bars and big boxes of powdered sugar if he's expecting a 1:6 ratio in their relative prices.  Perhaps he has French toast every morning or maybe he's just making up numbers that sound impressive.

Is this thread an in-joke that I just don't get?

It's a running gag that long ago stopped running, but keeps gagging.

Actually, it depends on what one values gold in.  In dollars, gold has come down considerably from its peak, but it barrels of oil, it's worth much more than five years ago.
