Interesting article. It doesn’t explain how the greatest vanishing act of the century actually started back many decades, but it is a start.
Once upon a time money had a value based upon the Gold Standard.
Another Repuglican administration, #TrickieDickie’s to be exact, decided money didn’t have to have a value and convinced Americans to take our monetary system off the Gold Standard.

In return we got paper or even digital numbers in a computer database.
And now we find out all that hard work can simply disappear at the speed of Wall St.
