This was a comment from "BerlinWallCrosser", and I thought it was something worthwhile we should dig on. First I'd heard of it!!
Posting now because I'm headed out for the day and wanted to get some eyes on this. If true, this is MASSIVE. Berlin said we could verify the number of states - so perhaps y'all would like to pick this ball up and run with it? ;)
1913 is also the year the Federal Reserve was founded. Since inflation is discussed it would also seem to be a fit.
1913 sure set some bad things in motion.
