A house of cards. A sandcastle. Dominoes. Lots of imagery available to describe our global, socialist economic system. Waiting for a crisis is one thing, considering a way out is another. Watching news from other countries provides signs of things to come which helps diagnose the worldwide problem. From CNBC:
There’s an idea rooted among some libertarians that the Federal Reserve was originally a sound institution but has grown corrupt. As a bankers’ bank, it was fine, they believe, but not as the monster it has grown to be. If we could only go back to the Fed’s founding charter, all would be well.
When on Monday FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (hereafter referred to as SBF) took to Twitter to reassure depositors that the third-largest cryptocurrency firm’s liquidity was fine, one could be forgiven for hearing echoes of Bear and Lehman’s c-suiters talking to CNBC to reassure their respective sources of funding, their short-term lenders, that their liquidity was also fine, when in fact their own firms were in their death throes.
