    Imagine a burger:

    “Hey Bank-chan, I have this idea for a restaurant that sells balloon animals. I think I’m going to charge $12 for a burger+balloon combo. Can I have 30,000,000 of the new money to do it?”

    “Sure, Slimeball-kun. Here you go!”

    Nobody has enough money to buy stupid borger

    “Hey Bank-chan, I’m declaring bankrupcy. you’re only getting $2,000,000 back on the investment”

    “But you and 99999 other people were supposed to make me profit!”

    Local news: “Your local bank is freaking out”

    “Oh holy shit, get my money out of that bank!” x9,999,999

    “Omg I don’t have enough money if 9999999 people withdraw their savings”

    bank run

    bank collapses

    nobody can make any businesses

    feds try to step in… again

    Only this time nobody wants to buy the dogshit bonds because BRICS is trying to divest. B&RI is using USD as toilet paper

    “Idk, maybe raise taxes 88% on the lowest 25% of Americans?” - Elon Mu$$k

    lowest 25%-sama can’t afford food

    also that real estate bubble that was giga overdue happens because of the week-decade thing

    cool zone begins

    Meanwhile China enjoys a functioning, self-sufficient economy because they are capable of doing anything

    I imagine it’s something like that.
