...and who are we even paying?

Did you know that the Federal reserve is neither Federal nor a reserve?

Our currency is controlled by a private entity. The first time I heard that I was like, "that's crazy, surely nobody else does that."

Don't look into it

It looks like Timmy is trying to get the government's attention, huh?

Do you know that theory about secret vaults where governments store tax money?

Well, here's the thing:

I don't know I just made that up right now, sorry.

Too late

It's only money.

Its a tool that we all need to participate in society in any capacity at all.

Sounds pretty important

Why on Earth would they secretly store tax money in a vault?

Like, physical tangible money?

That doesn't make any sense, then they'd have to actually print it.

Something like 90% of the money in "circulation" is not even actually coined or printed.

Our fiat currency has a fiat currency that is ones and zeros in "accounts"

It's literally all just imaginary. Almost none of it actually exists.

I'm not even kidding

No it's not. It's not even that anymore..

You know what. Based on what I saw. I don't think he got very lucky. That didn't look super lucky to me...

Anyone else feel that the quality of chicken(in general, not any particular prep) has gone down? Beef still seems to have held its own.

Yeah, I’ve noticed it. Same brand. Same store. Cooked the same way. Seems more… rubbery.

The only reason entities are allowed to have a billion ''dollars'' is because they're on a leash. They're not allowed to spend it how they want. They're probably given some sort of allowance, if they even exist at all. If they spent it it would inflate the currency to wiener republic levels.

You or I with a billion? I'd buy a bunch of crap and that money would be ''in'' the economy inflating the currency.

And the guy lived in guess so that's kind of lucky.

Or not depending on how much trauma you've got left to work through...

Money/Currency is just potential. Just like electrical potential.
