Bill, what do you think this portends for Old Glory bank...which is trying to be part of the parallel economy (at least ideologically)? oldglorybank.com I want to "my" "money" from Chase to OGB; but now I'm not sure it even matters.

Great article from the brilliant Jeffrey Tucker on Epoch Time (via Zero Hedge, of course). Money quote:

> A house of cards comes to mind. But perhaps a better metaphor is a game of billiards in which every move introduces a cascade of new issues. Lockdowns prompted immense government spending which produced debt that was quickly monetized and eventually caused inflation, prompting the Fed to reverse course with the largest/fastest rate increases in history.
