A Gold Dilemma!

In a twist your lederhosen can't dance to, the U.S. clings to a relic law. It mandates valuing over 8,100 tons of its gold stash at the preposterous price of $42.22 per ounce—a rate as outmoded as my old ski jump gear. A classic case of government inertia, unwilling or unable to recognize the reality of gold's fluctuating value. You see, friends, in today’s market, the price of gold is far higher, reflecting not only economic factors but also a deep distrust in government-issued money. It's a curious tale from the land of Uncle Sam, illustrating yet again why dependency on governmental constructs can sometimes be as reliable as a soggy noodle!
