Trump says he’s going to Fort Knox to inspect gold reserves I wish I would have posted it here first, but I was telling somebody JUST the other day that he's going to go down there and do what we squids call a sight inventory. After P47 said he was going there somebody in the drive-by media said without a bit of shame that "we do an audit every year!" AND YET!!!!! According to the Googles: The Fort Knox Bullion Depository was last opened to non-authorized personnel in 2017. The visit was led by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and included Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. iirc - (just guessing - HONEST!!!) There are seals - and logs. If the last signature on the latest seal is dated 2017 - That's NOT REALLY how audits work - eh? Disclosures: I've been to the Fort many times but not 'inside the wire.' I absolutely DO NOT KNOW anybody who has. I would bet all of @bisco's cookies that all of the bars that are s'posed to be there really ARE still there. If they bring cameras inside - some people are going to be surprised at how not-big the place is. -I read somewhere. Yes. It's absolutely a publicity stunt - staged by an energetic dude who is having fun on the job - and guess what????? If the bars (and other stuff) REALLY ARE THERE?????? -what's the harm?
What about authorized personnel? no doubt trunk and munk will steal all the gold, then claim it was empty when they got there
Pretty neat. At Toyota Management School one of the very first principles we were taught was Genchi Genbutsu or Go and See. A good manager doesn't sit in an office and manage - he goes out on the floor constantly and sees the situations firsthand to better grasp the situation and make good decisions. A Manager at Toyota who sat in his office was on borrowed time before he would be working somewhere else other than Toyota. I always admired seeing the current CEO President out on the Manufacturing floor checking on the processes and his workers. It was not unusually at Toyota of Kentucky to be working at your job or having a morning meeting and see the Company President present there. Genchi Genbutsu: A Way to First-Hand Process Observation - SixSigma.us "Imagine you’re a business leader faced with a persistent operational issue that’s hurting productivity and customer satisfaction. You’ve pored over reports, analyzed data, and held countless meetings, yet the root cause remains elusive. This disconnect between perception and reality is a common challenge that the Japanese philosophy of “genchi genbutsu” can help overcome. Genchi genbutsu, which literally translates to “go and see for yourself“, is a core principle of the renowned Toyota Production System.": It will be exciting to have President Trump in our state of Kentucky - He is vey well thought of here and quite popular it will be an honor and wonderful to have him in our state- hope he will have time to make some public appearances so people can see him.
Actually.....if the Donkeys were smart all the way around the track, somebody down the food chain should open the vault, break the seal (which probably still has Steve's name on it) and forge Biden's name on a replacement and doctor the seal logs!. Maybe put a Biden '24 Stricker on the inside of the door! Biden is senile - and so he would probably mumble that hell yeah he was there, and he helped load the carts during the count!!!! It would be a brilliant play and make P47 out to be the fool. Of course - somebody besides the guards would have to actually come to work...............
I remember both the '74 and the '17 inspections. The idea that there has been an audit since 1974 (or even 2017) is.......well......fake news. If the Donkeys wanted to be smart for a change they might ask who was POTUS the LAST time that somebody came in and looked.... IIRC - FDR is the only POTUS who has ever actually gone inside - but there were other things in there besides .....just gold at the time. There may STILL be.
