Wall Street panics like Orson Welles is reading the War of the Worlds again, yet gold is still solid. The thing about gold is that it’s separate from our normal currency, even though we used to be on the gold standard. At one point, we opted out of the Bretton Woods System, an international gold standard, and began using fiat currency, which is based on credit and not the value of a commodity. Its value has dropped over time, as it is no longer tied to something real, like gold prices.

- These stores have found a major marketing niche. They even have their own trade shows. Some, like the "99 Cent Only Store" sell absolutely everything for 99 cents or a submultiple (2/$.99, 3/$.99, etc.). Other stores bend the rules to be "many things for only $1" (this defeats the point, and these stores do not seem to be nearly as successful). Some things, like drinks, can be had for less than half the price of anywhere else (i.e. Sobe's 2/$.99). Other items (a can of beans) are no cheaper than a ["Food 4 Less" discount supermarket]. Some stores have mostly party items and other non-essentials, but some have useful staples (i.e. food). Davis is too affluent for stores like these, but our poor neighbors ["Woodland"] and ["West Sacramento"] are just right for them.	+ These stores have found a major marketing niche.
