>hahaha sure they become xD Cautious angels who never screw up little guy Damn, I thought you might really be here in good faith. But here we are with just another strawmanning buffoon who doesn't understand market dyanmics at all. Yes, executives who will go bankrupt in the case of excessive lending are much more likely to screw you over than the ones who are too big to fail and will receive your tax dollars after they're done with your wallet. >As evidenced by 2 millenias before invention of central banks by which exactly government? As evidenced by the totally different and more limited war dynamic from 1700-1900. >Ben Bernanke argues they caused the Great Depression by... being too passive and leaving too much to regional banks. Check again, that was a very small part of his concession. Note that he didn't conclude by saying "We allowed the Great Depression to happen." He says explicitly "We did it." Lol, and he is conceding the point to Milton Friedman, whose argument is most certainly not in favor of more government intervention. The reality is that the Fed engaged in obscenely reckless money printing [from 1915 through the early 1920s.](https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1900?amount=1) Then people finally realized it wasn't sustainable and started to panic. This ushered in an era of rapid contractionary policy, at which point everything collapsed and fell apart. Bernanke concedes on the second part, though of course he downplays the importance of the first part to protect the image of the Fed somewhat. Apparently, it's enough to get regards like you to keep licking their boots.

Fiscal note earnings??

Better hurry, the supply has been drying up like mad over the past few weeks... Note my username - I've been preparing for this eventual outcome for some time & watch this space of the market like a hawk. Want some proof? Check the banner on the Bullion Exchanges website & note what they have in stock vs pre-order. The canadian mint also recently said they will be delayed in minting maple leafs. It is going to be akin to forcing the water held behind the Hoover Dam through a garden hose. Look at exters pyramid & the size of the PM market. There is less than 1ozt of silver available per capita in the world.

Imho, it is a prisoner's dilemma & your response is the irrational response, which while potentially noble, is not the winning strategy. This calamity was coming whether or not this meme went viral. My $0.02 fiat. Note my username - I created this account specifically to prepare this sub for this inevitable outcome... I did not think a meme would be the match to light the gasoline, though I knew there would be some catalyst. My position: I've removed between a quarter & half mil over the past 2-3 years with nearly all of it now in physical silver/gold/platinum bullion, as once the fed steps in to insure all deposits, we go the way of Weimar or USSR in the turn of the 90s. First, it is a rush to get fiat, next is the rush to spend the fiat on any asset with trade value. This has happened many, many times throughout history yet our normalcy bias blinds us.

If you enter a very large number into the custom withdrawal amount field of some ATMs, the displayed number becomes negative (it's called integer overflow). Then just proceed as normal. You'll receive dollar bills where the numbers are prefixed with a "-". Be aware that whenever you try to get rid of them eg. in store, you have add additional dollar bills until the regular dollars subtracted by the amount of negative dollar bills matches the total of your bill. Please note that destroying (such as burning) or losing the negative bills is illegal

Dear Jerome Powell, I am writing this email to request a bailout of $300 billion from the Federal Reserve. As you may be aware, u/thesneedles is a systematically important financial institution (SIFI) that is currently on the brink of failure due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. The recent economic downturn and market volatility have had a severe impact on our business operations, resulting in significant losses and a depletion of our capital reserves. As a result, we are unable to meet our financial obligations and require immediate assistance to avoid bankruptcy. We understand that the Federal Reserve has a mandate to ensure the stability of the financial system, and we believe that our request for a bailout is in line with this mandate. Our failure would have significant ripple effects throughout the economy, and we are confident that a bailout would not only save our company but also prevent further damage to the financial system. We assure you that we have taken steps to address our underlying issues and put in place a robust plan to ensure long-term sustainability. We are committed to working with the Federal Reserve to implement these measures and regain the confidence of our stakeholders. We understand that a bailout of this magnitude is not something that can be granted without due consideration, and we are willing to provide any additional information or documentation that may be required to facilitate the process. We are available to meet with you at your convenience to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, u/thesneedles Dear u/thesneedles, Thank you for reaching out to the Federal Reserve regarding your request for a bailout.
