[quote=Anonymous]I forget who, but there's some major GOP figure who had some video showing up on social media and in those sponsored parts of news websites about the secret trust fund the US has that nobody knows about. I was going to ignore it but did a little bit of poking, and basically they are talking about the value of all the minerals (including oil, gas, coal) in federal land and how much it is worth per person. The pitch is geared to make everyone think we can all just grab our piece of the treasure chest and go out and spend it. It's like the old story about how bad it is to let an 18 year old come into a lot of money. Or like this F Scott FItzgerald novel I was assigned in college (The Beautiful and the Damned, I think)--young couple of leisure spending the principle expecting the old uncle to leave the everything he has, except he shows up one day when they've been carousing and he happens to be a moralist and writes them out of his will (in the end, they sue, and they win, but by then the husband has gone insane because of his bad decisions).

But it's ok. Donald will put all US assets into his crypto and we'll all be fine.
