Photos of gold at the New York Fed vault

They should be wearing steel-capped shoes if they're handling gold. That stuff will break toes if they drop a bar.

Last year, I was browsing the Goldman Sachs website extensively for a project on "Best Employers".

I was amazed that the promotional images were of nothing but minorities and women, and one could guess that there wouldn't be anywhere near as many minorities and women in the company as they seemed to show.

Whoever does those picture sessions must be thinking, "Okay, we need an Asian woman, a black man, and a white foreigner sitting on this meeting table and smiling as they talk to each other. I don't care where you find them, just get them."

That is actually gold leaf paper on giant blocks of chocolate. Honestly, who do you think makes those gold chocolate coins?
