Currently around $6,500/oz. Not the US stores of gold, that's all gold on the planet.

1971 price (when Nixon drops gold standard) = $275/oz.
Since then, we've printed enough money to buy all the gold on the planet about 30x over. But everything's cool, because US military is now the basis of value for the dollar. And that will last forever, because we can always print more money.
Right?

Yeah, that's what I meant. I probably should have specified. Though, if you know what you are doing, any kind of productive land can be good assets depending upon the local real estate markets.

My plan is to get a defunct nuke silo, retrofit it for habitation, and be ready for the shit to hit the fan. Fuck the rest of the world, it's pooched.

Tech CEO Isaac Schlueter Calls For Fewer White Men In Tech
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/25/tech- ... n-in-tech/
In the wake of the high-profile firing of James Damore from Google over his memo of “Ideological Echo Chambers,” the CEO of tech company Node Package Manager (NPM) has signaled his virtue calling for fewer “white dudes” in tech.
Somebody remind him we already have proportionately less white dudes in tech thanks to H1B's.
