Today’s graphic is an ad that ran in gun magazines in the early 1960s. It certainly illustrates the ravages of mass currency inflation. Notably, if anyone living in 1965 set aside either guns or silver coins minted before 1965, they would have kept up with inflation fairly well. It is mostly paper currency and electronic “dollars” on deposit that have suffered inflation — not our tangibles. It is fitting that this graphic illustration of inflation is being posted on April 1st — April Fool’s Day.  Most Americans keep getting fooled by inflation and the alleged “money” in their wallets.  The …

Our graphic of the week is an interesting annotated satellite photo montage of city lights. This NASA graphic has circulated on Reddit. It shows that 80% of the US population lives east of the annotated yellow line. This adds credence to my long-standing advice to live west of the Mississippi River.
