My take as well. Go back in time to 1975 and suggets to someone that gold will be $2,000 an ounce and silver would be $25. They would think you were nuts. but here we are.

I thought it was nuts to pay $8,000 for a brand new Buick in 1980.

LOL. My only frame of reference in 1975 was the cost of a popsicle at our local corner store run by and old Italian couple who lived above it. 10 cents.....

It’s okay, wage increases have outpaced the cost of living increases since 1980…
