damn wtf I should probably learn more about this given that I like to troll people who say "we should return to the gold standard because gold can't suffer from inflation" by responding "What About The Gold Rush" I'd like to know what the cost of a loaf of bread was in 1849 SF
this guys says $40 for a barrel of flour; another source gives 25 cents for a loaf of bread ($7.50 in today’s dollars) so idk
