Little is all that worrying in the grand scheme of things.

You’ve probably heard some talk about an obscure, technical glitch that’s left Wall Street banks, investors and the Fed itself on edge since Sept. 16. Perhaps you’ve also seen some of the blaring headlines about the Fed intervening and injecting hundreds of billions of dollars into the financial system, a first since the financial crisis. well it does not say why they are on edge the banks, investors and financial system other than they need money from the feds. some one was telling me about the high corporate debt not sure if that the reason or not. 5 hours ago, Endy0816 said: Worse case the dollar is replaced and we declare the debt null and void.

Well, probably doesn't help that Arizona Beverage Company is in New York. I am pretty sure it is an allegory of sorts for something. But then, maybe not.

I imagine it proceeding as a modernized version of what happened with Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic#Stabilization A dynamic currency whose value can be varied based on location would be my own preference, but who knows what might be thought up. You wouldn't do this on a whim but we've certainly seen interesting maneuvers even in our own lifetimes. Greece's haircut and India's bill demonetization spring readily to mind.

nec209 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 This kinda of explains it. The “repo” move, comes a day after market turmoil in which rates spiked at record levels and worries grew that the Fed was losing control of its benchmark rate. The repo markets serve as short-term plumbing that runs the financial market’s operating systems. In extreme cases, breakdowns can lead to financial crises such as the one that engulfed Wall Street in 2008 when overnight lending dried up between big Wall Street institutions. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/17/fed-to-conduct-technical-repo-operation-tuesday-to-keep-its-benchmark-rate-where-it-wants-it.html https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/viral/fed-to-conduct-repo-operation-again-tomorrow-will-inject-up-to-dollar75b-into-money-markets/vp-AAHrsj3
