i do agree as well on interest rates but that is a monumental discussion. i was a risk manager in the american banking system by profession, you'd be surprised at how nobody actually understands what the fuck is going on. even the big wigs all the way up a the top of the fed. i cannot stress that enough. nobody actually understands the true nature of things because it has been made so convoluted by layers of abstraction. the fed has very little actual power. the only power they have is belief. if you look at the founding of the fed that was the entire intent. bank b is collapsing, so mr. jp morgan comes in, and with merely his word alone makes the bank solvent again. nobody has enough liquid to stop a large enough bank run, not even jp morgan himself at the time, but the idea and belief in his word made it so.  again, these people aren't evil just incompetent. the people that i would say are closest to evil are the investment bankers driven by greed and no regard for the implications of their actions on society. don't get lost in the sauce anon, i did for a long time. everything is still built on real tangible things and hardworking people working to payoff whatever they owe. this was true 5000 years ago and it is still true today. just be thankful that we live in a society where you cannot become to indebted that you become a slave (at least not yet).
