Manic Monday--Econ 101

Gold-obsessed trumped up thief Goldbug has managed, with the unwitting help of the Hulk, to finally accomplish his goal, and find El Dorado!!

So, that's a good thing, right?


Oh, the bitter irony...


So, just to be clear...you don't want too much gold, and you'd rather spend your time dreaming of just enough gold.

Auric Goldfinger is spinning in his grave, dude.

PRO-TIP: why not just take some of the gold, and leave the rest behind in the hidden city? Doofus...

From Incredible Hulk #241 (1979)

So, essentially, all he has to do is take some gold and NOT TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT WHERE THE CITY IS? What's the difficulty level there?

If he were smart, he wouldn't be a criminal.

I think he's just one of those kinds of people who really really enjoy having a grudge.

Eejit. And there's a thing called a goldbug?

snell said...

Not an actual insect...it's a phrase originating in the 19th century, a disparaging term in the finance world for investors who are very bullish on buying gold.

Nevermind the fact that I've always argued against this very rationale for why gold is so expensive (a lame excuse itself, in my opinion) in that the standards of living would be raised universally across the board if there were enough gold for all of its functional uses...it's like an idiot who'd rather have the *ONLY* toilet in the entire world worth $3,000,000,000.00 or have a working toilet in every house and public facility worth $40.00, and it makes no sense.
