For me, a better analogy is pyrite (commonly known as fool's gold).

It appears to be gold, but is in fact cheap iron sulphide. It is sometimes found in association with small amounts of gold, similar to some of those people that tend to come out of the woodwork when we complain about shitty work conditions, saying, "well I have a nice paying job".

You just reminded me, that the homies and myself aren't going to Lake Tahoe this year. My favorite beach there has specs of fools gold in the water, and it's pretty in the sun. The reason we can't go? The prices for EVERYTHING there have tripled, since we went last year....
