Yay, just what our state needs, a bunch of undeserved wealth falling into the laps of the state's worst political actors along with a heaping serving of environmental destruction. Hope we tax the absolute shit out of every cent they pull out of the ground.

^(edit: lol at u/highdad_soup for firing off 2 childish comments on this thread - including calling me a child - and then immediately blocking me to avoid a clapback)

That’s a dubiously sourced stat fyi, gold.com is not a reliable source.

The US Geologic Survey, a non biased 3rd party not trying to sell you something, puts the number closer to 10%

“Estimated global gold consumption was jewelry, 47%; physical bar, 21%; central banks and other institutions, 14%; official coins and medals and imitation coins, 10%; electrical and electronics, 7%; and other, 1%.”

I have put my phone covering part of the speedometer and gas gauge when I need to see the directions. In terms of the rear view mirrors, you must have any two of the three. A work van with no rear windows had the mirror and it was kind of pointless, and sometimes hauling stuff in a car renders that mirror useless as well.

I get these all the time. I wish I could write back, I'd say:

"Dude. If you had a clip of me jacking off to the porn I like to jack off to, and it was two frames with one showing the porn I like and the other showing how much I liked *that*, I'd give you money for it. That sounds hot.

And if you sent it around to my friends and whatnot, I imagine most of them would be like, "Woah. I had no idea Steve has such a big dick.""
