Is Surveillance Pricing Ripping You Off? How to Stop Your Data from Being Used Against You

Surveillance pricing is the practice by retailers of adjusting prices for individuals based on data collected about that person, including browsing history, location, purchase history, and more. They often use third-party intermediaries to adjust those prices.

You can protect yourself by using a VPN, clearing browser cookies frequently, browse in Incognito mode, and compare prices.

Maryland, New York and other states are moving to require disclosures anytime personal information is used to dictate pricing.

Fort Knox Full Of Impure Gold Unfit For International Transactions

US gold reserves are reported to be 8,133.5 metric tons, roughly 261.5 million troy ounces. America’s gold is valued at $42.22 per ounce by statute. The price does not fluctuate with market movements.

The bulk of the US gold reserves held in Fort Knox are made up of impure “non-standard” bars and most of it would not be accepted on the international market. The “good delivery” standards across the globe have been transitioning to 0.9999 purity. The average purity of US gold reserves is 916.7, with 64% of the gold falling between 899 and 901 in purity/ fineness.

The US government’s gold holdings have not been audited since at least the 1970s.

On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, effectively making private gold ownership illegal so that he could expand government spending. The government melted down coins that it collected from the public. The coins had about 90% purity and were made into bars and stored at Fort Knox.

Trump rejected Iran’s proposal because it won’t give up its nuclear program and a White House statement vowed “Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.” CENTCOM is reportedly preparing for “short wave of strikes” on Iran in order to potentially break the Hormuz impasse.
