šŗšøFORT KNOX: AMERICAāS $290 BILLION āJUST IN CASEā STACK Fort Knox holds 4,581 tons of gold, worth nearly $290 billion, a relic of when dollars were tied to metal, not just trust. It just sits there, untouchedāa golden psychological safety net for the economy. For context, thatās less than 1/3 of the U.S. Defense Departmentās $850 billion annual budget. In the grand scheme of government spending, itās not much more than a really shiny emergency fund. Kind of like your friend that hoards silver bars in his floorboards, convinced that when the dollar collapses, heāll be buying bread on credit of a single silver bar. Itās the same mindsetāexcept Fort Knox has tanks, and he just has paranoia. Source: U.S. Treasury ēæ»čÆåøå
