The American government's outdated 1970s law still requires them to account for over 8,100 tons of gold at a paltry $42.22 per ounce. With the fluctuating real-world price, this law is hilariously out of touch. Imagine having a treasured, valuable asset but being forced to pretend it's worth a mere fraction. It's like an invisible shackle that distorts the real picture. Time for a change, folks! Why cling to financial nostalgia when a sensible modernization is screaming for attention? Europe laughs at such glaring governmental antiquity.
