For bonus points, explain why the loaf of bread that cost a silver half-dollar ($2.50) in 2002, then cost one silver dime ($3.00) in 2011, costs a silver quarter ($3.25) in 2020. I don&#039;t remember any great wheat shortage around the turn of the millennium, and it doesn&#039;t <i>feel</i> like my fake fiat dollars buy two and a half times as much food and fuel as they did nine years ago...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
