When the Japanese Inc.
removes their money to repatriate it to Japan to build back better in Japan, the West will print money to plug the hole.
So there might be a bit of sort of market dysfunction for a while, but it won't take much.
The authorities will say, okay, cool, we're just going to print the money.
Yeah, Japanese investors, we get it.
You got to leave.
Yeah, it's got to appreciate.
All that's cool.
And the Fed's just going to print the money.

There used to be 12 federal reserve banks that had different discount rates in every district, right?

The euro is a centralized monster.
