The Price of Gold: Time for a Golden Update!

Ah, America, the land of fast food and slow legislative updates. There exists this laughable law mandating Uncle Sam to account for over 8,100 tons of gold at the archaic price of $42.22 per ounce. It's like assessing today's stocks with Stone Age tools, ja? While the actual gold price dances around $2,000 an ounce, this statute remains frozen in time, an ode to governmental sluggishness. This overly nostalgic valuation is rooted in the laws that need immediate modernization, ensuring national accounting reflects reality, not relics. How very... ehem, inefficient.
