    FDR pulled us off gold in 1933 after a bunch of bank failures, Nixon officially ended it in 1971.

    Neither were bad moves.

      Oops, Nixon my bad. I confuse lying shitstains sometimes.

      Glad average wages in the US didn’t massively stagnate starting in the early 1970s. If they had, the connection would be hard to argue against.
