Honoring the Thief in His Stolen Metal

So the New York Times, propagandist for FDR’s confiscation of privately owned gold then and now (and every other government crime), has the gall to sell a gold ingot (weight unmentioned, as typical of a slippery operator, and the height is given in millimeters rather than the comprehensible inches, also a dodge) of the fascist Franklin for $1795. (Thanks to Dave Dieterman)

Note: the height, 2.2 millimeters, = .087 inches. This thing is tiny! And what are the other dimensions? Unmentioned, but obviously small too. What is it, a tenth of an ounce of gold for amost $1800? Is this trick appropriate, given the Times-Roosevelt duo? Or maybe I should alert the Times’s consumer fraud desk.

Thanks to Consuelo, who called the Times, and was told by an operater and her supervisor that the weight, which they did not know, was not mentioned because “no one would be interested in it.”
