Of course, that is $15,000,000 in 1965. Hmm, let's see, back then gold was $35.12 an ounce so that means they could pull out 26,694 pounds or 13 tons. Today, that would be worth...
$375,854,214. That keeps ahead of inflation which would have only made that worth $97.6 million.
With my luck I would be the guy at the end of the line... the line that contained everyone in the entire world.
All things considered, that's a pretty short line.
ReplyDeleteAnd they don't need that fancy machine! Martian Manhunter figured out how to extract gold from seawater YEARS ago!
I...I miss J'onn. *sniff*
Oh, you're wanting to put the future of our economy in the hands of a dead illegal alien?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAlso, that's a short line because the line started 10 years ago.
Ha! Gold has been hovering around the thousand-dollars-an-ounce mark since spring. It's a great time to be a gold seller -- not so great to be a buyer, if yer buying at those prices. People always buy gold when the economy scares them, though.
ReplyDeleteBut never platinum. Go figure.
Hey, putting the economy in the hands of a dead alien would be worse...how?
ReplyDeleteAt least J'onn isn't from... *shudder* ...texas.
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way. Sorry to hear about OU's loss.
