if the car rental company doesn't actually have any cars on their lot, they can't just magically materialize one out of thin air at no cost and rent it to you. comparing limited or finite goods to an infinite good that an unelected board of bankers can create at will is disingenuous. if there was finite money backed by a standard and banks couldn't loan something they didn't actually have, then it would at least be fair. as it stands it's completely unfair.
