[quote:Anonymous Coward 1546575:MV8xOTczMjY2XzMzMTMxMDgyXzFFMjU2MEJE] its what America did during WW2. And look what that gave them! turned them into the worlds only superpower, and they had decades worth of prosperity. im not kidding either. Yea the gold was spent to build tank factorys, fighter jets, and battleships, but they soon re-tooled those factorys to build commercial products, such as passenger jets, cars, and passenger/goods carrying ships. see it helps to actually SPEND PHYSICAL GOLD once in a while, rather than borrwing your money at interest from a private banking cartel of rich eletist cunts.

A Sardinian miner has slashed his wrist in a live TV address, in protest against the closing of a local facility. Some 100 workers barricaded themselves in front of the mine, which is packed with almost 700 kilograms of explosives.
The incident took place during a press conference held underground.
"If someone here has decided to the kill miners' families, ladies and gentlemen, we'll cut ourselves, we'll cut ourselves," 49-year-old Stefano Meletti said as he slashed his wrist in front of reporters.
