Was this intended on negating my comment about crude oil being used to establish USDs relative stability? Because I don't think this fact does anything of the sort, although it's still informative and interesting, I'm just not sure I understand the point you might be trying to make in this context.

The USD isn’t pegged to oil.

I don't understand your link to the Onion here.

Are you joking or do you not realize that the Onion is satire?
