There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

    No, it is actually out of thin air.
    When a bank gives out a credit, that money is created on the spot, not drawn from somewhere.
    There are rules as to how much money a bank is allowed to create, based on how much they actually have.
    But no account of any kind is reduced by the amount they give out as credit.

    What it actually is:

    We’ve given big, privately owned banks the right to create money out of thin air.
    They lend it to you for a while, if you can prove that there’s no risk involved.
    You still have to pay them back a lot more than you got.
    Once you’ve given the money back, it disappears.
    The banks keep the interest, though. And can use it to create 10x more money out of thin air.

    Cops suck at their job, and they hate it if you explain it to them.
    I can’t remember a single time in my 40-years-long life when a cop genuinely helped me in any way,
    apart from writing a report (full of errors and spelling mistakes) that my insurance demanded.
    And I really don’t believe they “make the streets safer” either.
