No offense, but that website is really dumb. There are lots of arguments to be had surrounding the gold standard, and that site fails at all of them

20 years ago before I had a wife, a child, pets, or a mortgage and when I had a simple job, I would destroy weeks at a time with some Final Fantasy 8. Logged obscene hours, unlocked every secret and beat every minigame, more than once. There's just no time in my life now for a game requiring that kind of time commitment, but there's always the memories

You can open a high yield savings account right now at over 4% APY, or a 12-24 month CD at over 5%. My point is your savings should not be losing value

It's hard to overstate how different the standards were back then. Much of the housing that was built pre-1940 has been demolished, but if you find an average neighborhood still around from that era, you'll find tiny 2 bedroom houses in which parents raised often 3 or more kids, and this was the middle class norm. In the US, the average person has way more living space today than back then

I don't think he stands a chance against Colin Allred at this point, but I think both Gutierrez and Allred are great candidates who will have respectful, content-rich debates. Both candidates I think have a better shot against Ted Cruz than Beto ever did

I'm typing this on a Pixel 3, I don't even remember how many years I've had it now. I'm nearing readiness for an upgrade and looking at the 6 or 7
