The really annoying part is that every time a loan is issued, money is created out of thin air, and this is a driver of inflation. So people that are good with money, have a savings buffer, and don't borrow money are force to eat the shit sandwich the irresponsible people create.

how many times must we do this before acknowledging that creating value out of thin air is an objectively bad and unsustainable idea?

Ok so someone help me, what is the best option? I wouldn’t wanna leave my money in stocks because of the fear of the market crashing but I don’t want to have money in my bank account because my bank wouldn’t give me my money. So would th best option just be holding a bunch of cash ?😭. Someone help me here

A system which can only function with trust is called a pyramid sceme.

7:20 banks aren't 'lending' their own reserves here. These bonds are bought by institutional investors like pension funds and insurers. Commercial banks usually just act as underwriters, they facilitate the sale and they really are not the ones buying 121 billion dollars worth of corporate bonds.

All I know is, when a house in my area which cost 150k in 2019 is now selling for 350k, in a worse off condition than it was in 2019, there’s something seriously wrong going on. I don’t know where people are getting the money. Average monthly vehicle payment is like $750 a month. Where is the money coming from?

Its nuts. I was 22 in 2008 and couldn't even get a job as McDonald's. I was 22 and living with my mom again. Wound up calling a recruiter and said "I need a job and a place to live" and they said they got me. Changed the course of my entire life and I didnt even know till years later there wasna recession 😅
