Suicides went up, rates of addiction went up, all these negative socioeconomic consequences.

What in your estimation is happening here?

It's pain on a societal level.

The central bank is inflicting pain.

This financial repression forces people to make very hard decisions and cuts options off from

them that they would normally have.

The Bank of Japan, which is the central bank of Japan, is basically the canary and the coal mine

for late stage central banking.

If you look at Japan, they don't have as bad of an addiction issue in the drug sense

as we do in the U.S., but they have a much worse suicide and depression issue.

They have a horrible demographic time bomb. They've

essentially, you know, disrupted their own fertility, you know, and reproduction mechanism. And so

they're killing off their population in real time. My God, that is horrible. Yeah. This is the

societal consequences of these decades of central banking.

You know, a year later or something after Occupy Wall Street, one of them said,

we shouldn't have occupied Wall Street. We should have occupied the Fed.

Yeah.

People said, I'm buying GameStop. I don't even care if I make money.

This isn't about the money. This is like a financial revolution.

It's a protest. It's saying, fuck you to the system that's so broken.

And I remember there's one really viral post on Reddit that week that said,

they control us because they control the money.
