It was abandoned because the pseudo-gold standard under the fed and the $2.5 for every $1.00 of gold collapsed when people started making bankruns. So the natural response was obviously not to admit fault, but to confiscate everyone's gold.

Anyways, gas prices are now below $3.00, for the first time since like 2006. I like this.
New York is about the same. I like this too. Now to get to Texas where is should be below $2 by now.
