I don't know where we're going with this but it's going to be interesting.

It's directly undermining the underpinnings of the US economic system is where it's going. So either trump himself intends to return to the gold standard, or they're all aware trump is going to destroy the US economy and desantis is jumping the gun.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Trump has talked about going back to the gold standard before. He didn't make it a campaign promise, but I won't be surprised if he tries it.

It'll be great for those people who have gold, not so much for those who don't.

Though I'm not sure if they've considered the fact that a lot of gold-deficient people may have guns.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

They've considered that a lot of the gold-deficient people are sheep who can easily be pointed at immigrants/minorities/LGBT/whatever other undesirables they can get Fox to lie about for a while.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That doesn't sound any different from the system we have right now.

 

[wonko the sane?]

It's exactly the same, except for the finite resource in replacement for the make believe that's currently used.

I believe Desantis will be combining this new economic measure with gender-role purification, via "new" educational videos at schools:
