Idiots. If everyone had this much, it would have the worth of gravel. Stupid socialists.
Even comic book writers in the ‘80s understood this. An alien turned an office building into gold, thinking he was helping. The government ended up dumping it it the Mariana Trench (or some equivalent thereof).
Stupid old Spider-Man, meanwhile, had taken a now-gold memo pad from a trash can in the building. He felt so guilty he put it with the other gold and allowed it to be disposed.
