I don't know. I've likewise dismissed gold standard discourse as boomer nonsense forever. Doesn't matter now. There isn't enough gold on earth to service our current debt. Forget about paying it off or building a functional economy. We've grown beyond it.

Buy with regards to supply side economics. It blew its whole load in the late 80s and 90s. By 2000 we were going downhill. Those old enough might remember the news of the day talking about us becoming a "service economy"
