Is this true?


In the olden days, I don’t know when it ended, the US Dollar was asset based. That means that for every dollar printed, there was a dollars worth of gold in the treasury.


At some point, the US government started printing money, without having the asset.
(To me, this is like writing checks without having money in your account)
 
If this is true, and the US government is screwing up anyway, why do they need tax dollars? If they need more money, they can just print it!
 
Straighten me out!

Impossible Shit

I have been busy at work with some impossible shit, old files that have been overwritten keep reappearing. For example, a grocery store does a weekly ad. This weeks ad overwrites last weeks ad, but the audio filename is the same. So the filename is something like grocerystore.WAV. Every day at the same time, the computer plays the ad, we just re-record it. Well, suddenly, out of the blue, the old ad starts playing again. Several instances of this.

Not possible…..
