7:52 - The author of the script makes it sound like Nixon abolished Breton-Woods to help miners. Kind of a joke - it was abolished to allow the US to crank the money printing presses to pay off Vietnam war debt - thus devaluing all other existing dollars which were no longer exchangeable for gold.

Sheesh. And to mistake a devalued dollar for the illusion of rising gold values - well that's just nutty delusions.

My ex was from Cripple Creek. His father owned a derelict hotel and blacksmith shop. We had to go and visit about once a month. The town's cafe actually had one menu for tourists and another one for locals. I hear Cripple Creek is all about gambling and tourists now.
