Let's knock this one out of the way now: despite what people at the mises institute would have you think, not a lot of couples divorce because of bitter arguments on the convertibility of the dollar to gold.

The divorce rate increase since 1960 is related to the no-fault divorce laws passing in the US Before that, if a couple went to a court and said "we hate each other, grant us a divorce, please" the judge could legally say "fuck you, you're still married, work it out".

Ah a breath of fresh air about this bs website. The gold standard won't fix your economic woes, much less your marital ones
