Gold fever

After watching a YouTube video on the Klondike Gold Rush and realizing gold is over $3000 an ounce, I started to wonder why there isn’t a 2025 gold rush.

The simple answer is that we have become spoiled and lazy. Take a good look at the line of prospectors heading to the Klondike and the sacrifices made just for a chance at some gold.

Fast forward to today, where poor people complain because they have to wait in a line of 20 people for a brick of free cheese. I don’t see any rush in the foreseeable future to get that shiny gold before the next person.

I did come across a few videos of old gold mines that I’ll post. Anyone from manufacturing will laugh at the lack of safety equipment present despite numerous company "let's be safe" signs.
