Lets establish the end zone on Fort Knox.

[Schwarzer Ritter]

DOGE is going to audit Fort Knox. So, what will they find? If you think there are shenanigans what constitutes theft? This is really important for the people who want to claim conspiracy theory. So, what's the standard? 1% off the mark high or low? 5%, 10%. Think about the till at your fast food job. What happens if you come up short? As a numbers guy I would also be concerned if you came in over.

So, lets get everyone on the record. Short? Long? Exactly right? By how much?

Oh. Are we gonna have a pool on the amount and how close?

Can the winner get an hour with their favourite Provider comp'd by all those that participate? And they got to post a review.

Let's REALLY get everyone *in*
Lord knows it will probably be the first time one of the posters in PS actually sees a Provider if they win the pool.

This is feeding the maga conspiracy contingency. All for show.
Hoogely nothing burger

[Precious_b]

Come on, Winnie.
This can be something more than show.
Put in a number and win a visit with your favourite Provider.
And seeing that the OP only has one, and if it is like Texas, at a place that is in the crosshairs of authorities at the moment, they could really appreciate upsizing that encounter.

There is no prize other than self respect and maybe some humiliation for the loser. There is supposed to be 147.3 million ounces of gold in Fort Knox. In percentage points, plus or minus, how far off will be the result?

[Schwarzer Ritter]

I see that no one wants to stand strong and plant themselves with a lance against their foes. Typical cowardice from the left.

Accept the fact there is no interest in this thread, instead of trying to back your thread up with insults.


The thread may be a better fit for the Sandbox.

Scared much? No faith in the swamp?

I am guessing there will be a short of some size, big or small, in the USA owned gold . . .I am just cynical that way.

I am also guessing that there will be resistance to opening up most of the vault space due to "secet" holdings of stuff belonging to other nations. Stuff held consensually and "frozen assets" of other nations.

Perhaps that is where the frozen zombie ale=ien bodies are kept.

Here's what's going to happen with a Fort Knox DOGE 'audit':

DOGE will find all the 147.3 million ounces of gold is still there.

The government denotes the value of this gold at Fort Knox as just $6 billion based on the government-set book value for gold of $42.22 per troy ounce.

With gold trading at more than $2,960 per troy ounce on the open market Monday, which would give the gold a value of $436 billion.

DOGE will 'reprice' the gold at current rates.
They will then claim the difference in pricing as a 'savings' on the DOGE.gov website

Voila, with little effort and no effect...
A nonexistent $430BB 'savings'

[EdBeaver]

Why is DOGE wasting money on a Fort Knox audit? I thought they were trying to save money. It doesn’t matter how much gold is in Fort Knox unless DOGE is going into the jewelry business. Or maybe Trump is going to gold plate MAG-A-Lago.
