Independence from Congress.
Independence supposedly from the president, but not independence from J.P.
Morgan or the Bank of America.
So dependence on the bankers whom they're bailing out when the bankers' bets go awry.
So personally, I don't have much time for independence, the independence of the central bank.
Once upon a time, there wasn't even this discussion.
I'm old enough to remember a time when no central bank was independent.
The Bank of England was bound by its relationship with the British government and so on.
What we now have, however...
It's not that Donald Trump agreed with people like me and wants to democratize the Federal Reserve and take it away from the bankers.
No.
He is representing big tech.
He's representing the stablecoin industry.
He's representing, you know, Facebook, Zuckerberg, and...
several upstarts that want to privatize the American dollar and they want to make use of the Genius Act in order to do this.
And, you know, Wall Street is represented through the Fed.
So there's a clash between old banking money and new techno-feudal money.
And Trump is taking the side of the latter.
It's such a dubious honor to be one, probably the most deepfaked person on the internet.
You know, I have no idea why this has happened.
