"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane & intolerable" ~ H.L. Mencken

Average salary in 1985 = 53 oz of Gold.
Average salary today = 15.5 oz of Gold.
Our grandparents earned ~37.5 ounces more Gold per year than we do.
Brutal.

This might be the wildest minimum wage statistic I've ever seen.
In 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. Gold averaged $40.92 per ounce.
It took 26 hours of minimum-wage labor to earn an ounce of gold.
In 2025, the federal minimum wage was $7.25. Gold averaged $3,432 per ounce.
It took 473 hours of labor to earn that same ounce.
Your hourly wage increased 4.5× in dollars.
The amount of labor required to acquire gold increased 18.5×.
Measured in gold, the federal minimum wage lost approximately 95% of its value.
Fifty-four years of nominal wage increases, and one hour of work buys a fraction of the monetary asset it once did.

Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.

🚨BILL GATES: The COVID pandemic “didn't work the way I expected.”
“Over the next several years… you will see a lot of ATTACKS different in terms of scale than anything we've seen in the past.”
That literally sounds like a threat…

If he had killed her before the abortion of two babies he would be facing 3 counts of murder.
However, two of those counts simply evaporated- something to do with women's autonomy.

The whole idea that shooting a retreating attacker is morally wrong seems predicated on the idea that said attacker is somehow running on *one-way feet*, and wouldn’t THINK of firing at you from cover once he reaches said cover.
