You guys as individuals would, but what I implied was that I think that he is worth more for the human race than the 75kg of gold in that room that he would represent (assuming he was worth his weight in gold). Clarification: Having gold equal to his weight in that room, or having him research topics like chemistry for the 40 or whatever years he has done so?

      I don't think an earthquake will do much to a vault that strong. As long as you stay away from the falling shelves and blocks of gold, you will be quite safe!! And considering the value of the gold in there, you will be rescued pretty soon when the authorities come by to have a check to make sure the gold is safe.

    I'd be a little nervous standing next to those shelves. If they happened to fall over, you'd be squashed lol

    That's a lot of gold on the shelf. Really curious to see the ratio of how many ounces of gold certificates there are compared to the actual ounces of gold. To quantify the fractional reserve ratio.

      You hit the nail n the head. Fractional Banking means exactly that. If you have a 1000 ounces of Gold, you lend out 100,000, knowing that people aren't going to ask for their assets all at once. When there is a run on the Banks, introduced by these vultures themselves, the working class loses everything. It's about time to pull that world-wide scam again. The main difference is that the public is aware and WILL hold those responsible. They can't hide in animinity any more.
