Yeah, I wonder what...

Don't get your hopes up, if we went back to the gold standard Billionaires would just corner the market and fuck us anyways. We're well past that course of action.

Unfortunately nearly every graph on that page is intentionally misleading. If you actually adjust the graphs for inflation (where it's relevant), 1971 looks like just another year.

Lying with statistics!
