Don’t forget the difference between Troy and Avoirdupois ounces. At today’s price of just about $5k per Troy ounce, $3.6 million would be 720 Troy ounces, which would be about 656 Av. ounces, which would be just about 41 Av. pounds of gold, which would be 2.93 stone or 18.63 kg. Since the price of gold has gone down a bit since the original post about the gold donation, these numbers are a little larger than they would have been at that time. ---

Thanks for the good math. I just skipped the troy → avordupois step as close enough. Especially given the volatility in Gold prices, that 10% difference might not mattercdaybto day. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > \*tacking on charges of “improper disposal of human remains” or “abuse of a corpse” in such cases seems like piling on IMHO. OTOH, those charges will stick. The guy might, _might_ walk on the murder charge. Think of that charge stacking as a prosecutorial insurance policy. ---

Today I saw a non-descript car with a bumper sticker: > I ❤ The Constitution Decent bet the ignornant MFer is actually a trumper and totally hates what the constitution actually means.

Nope. As I said, it was a nondescript car. Generic white Toyota or Nissan or Kia sedan. Not even a country club Republican-mobile. ---

Why couldn’t it be someone who actually does love the constitution, in a completely non-ironic way? Would no such person ever show such a bumper sticker, or at any rate would the odds against it be so huge? Your certainty, or even “decent bet,” that it is an ignorant MFer is disconcerting to me. It seems a small amount of evidence for such vehement condemnation. ---

The huge Gadsden flag flying out of the bed of the pickup gives them away. And in my state, they also have the Gadsden license plate. Yep, that’s a real thing.

Florida has had Gadsden license plates for years. They’re not exclusively found on pickup trucks, but they’re seemingly more common on them. At the last election 100% of the folks I saw with Gadsden plates or flags at their home who also had election-related signs were trumpers. ---

Because the Far Right has beating the drum for the last 30 years about unconstitutional federal overreach and how the Republican mission (even pre-trump) was to “restore” the primacy of the Constitution. Which in their telling means shrinking the federal government to powerlessness and “restoring” the states as the most significant form of government. As a separate matter, very simple sound-bitey slogans are a sign of RW thinking. Somebody actually wanting to reign in the current criminal regime and its wildly illegal overreach would have a sticker with more than 3 words on it. I certain admit I _might_ be reading the sticker-owner’s intent wrong. But I doubt it.
