No good point, I appreciate discussions!

I think they know if it didn’t exempt city residents there would be enough backlash from eligible voters it wouldn’t pass. Seeing as it’s a fine and not a ban it can have secondary effects of improving safety and the environment but primarily it will raise money.

Well they also exempt taxis and city residents so it’s not about safety or the environment it’s about the money.

It’s weird though my 1920s price research shows $20.67 per Troy Ounce. Example: https://sdbullion.com/gold-price-by-year

I might be mistaken and that’s the US government’s set price for gold in the early 1900s, a lot of these other links show it closer to 10x that value.

Sub 2% interest rates for 2 years for loans and then jumped to ~8%

Market is wildly variable.

Yeah I was going to say Upper Middle Class but I’ve seen some dumpy houses for those prices and it’s really titled by if you bought when interest rates were low vs the last year or so.

$300/oz in 1920?

[–] skydivekingair@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago (9 children)

Which one? Gold was $20.67 per Troy ounce in 1920, that’s about $664.55 per kilo. 10 kilos about $6,645.55 I’m believing the first search result https://www.countryliving.com/life/g33398396/what-things-cost-100-years-ago/ says that matches up. Gold is about $64,900 per kilo today so $649,000 for 10 bars, that’s a low cost of living middle class place or HCOL very small house that needs renovation. I could see you meaning these days and houses in some areas are in the $6 million range, guess they should be location specific.

Several vampires and highlanders just woke up with a lot of their cash missing.

Clickbait, he tweeted “inaccuracy in the ASUS router tool” later on.
