Part 2, Politics and the Rule of Law  (4)
You'll have to clarify for me if you're serious or not (sometimes sarcasm doesn't go well in text). As the former president, Obama would be in a pretty good position to be responsible for major criminal acts committed by the government under his reign.

Considering the broad array of criminal allegations, it'd be pretty amazing if the guy at the top didn't know about anything at all.

It's almost as though the purchasing power of an ounce of silver (which is basically what "$1" represented over a century ago) has remained the same, while the purchasing power of a dollar has fairly consistently dropped 95% over that time period.

If interest rates go lower, that'll just drive more people into buying rocks (that might appreciate in value) over savings in dollars or bonds (both guaranteed not to appreciate in value relative to inflation).

If the Fed raises rates like you predict, the country won't be able to pay the interest on the debt, leading to a collapse of the dollar. That's good for gold, too.

U.S. Crushes 6 Tons of Ivory, Some of it Exquisitely Carved, to "Send Message" to Poachers; Does Thi  (4)
But...but if the government dumped all that ivory on the market at once, that would lower the price of ivory, and then it wouldn't be as lucrative for the poachers.

Oh wait, that makes sense, too, so no way the government would go for it.

Academic study admits possibility of gold market rigging but can't confirm it
But, it's impossible to document *anything* statistically, all you ever get is "evidence" that's always in the eye of the beholder. Tobacco companies, for decades, said there was no statistical evidence that smoking and lung cancer were related, because, ultimately, "statistical documentation" never objectively exists.

"How Can One Calculate True Price Inflation"  (1)
Sorry for the double post, but my first comment vanished.

Lost in the above discussion is the mention of productivity increases, that should further factor into an inflation calculation. A lone man can harvest vastly more grain than decades ago--this should lower prices, but inflation has slurped up the benefit of better productivity. Similarly, high quality steel was worth more than its weight in gold ...

Future of Education is At Hand: Online, Accredited, Affordable, Useful  (2)
Online education has potential, but the higher education system is utterly without integrity. Additionally, accreditation is nothing like you, or most people, think it is.

Indian Rupee Crisis Now Even More Comical
Hmm, the government will pay more than pawn shops and dealers...the dealers will respond by paying more. The government will respond by paying still more...repeat ad infinitum. Could the law of unintended consequences ignite the beginning of the end for fiat?

Welcome To The Third World, Part 5: Higher Education Goes Broke  (4)
Professors somewhere might be paid executive salaries, but certainly not where I am; I make about 1/3 of what the administrators make, however. The real issue with college expenses is the administrative bloat.

Back when my college had under 1,000 students, we had a dozen faculty and a like amount of administrators. Now we have 5,000 students and...20 faculty. Administrators, on the other hand, have inc...
