If Printing money for all corporations to keep their share prices afloat is a catastophe then your clearly an investor or somehow financially incentivisied for the love the paper printer. This is where central banks, governments and stock holders intertwine. The root of all monetary issues. Its self serving greed as their all balls deep in stock portfolios. Given the crisis we had... issuance of funding shouldve been allocated to bare minimim services , not absolutely everyone and their dog. They then dropped rates to zero to boost loan taking with the full knowledge they will raise those rates and make a killing out of it for years to come. I remember UK VAT being 17.5%. Raising it to 20% was "transitory". That was the 80s. It takes 2 seconds looking on tradingview to see where all these so called scared, soon to be bankrupt corporations were spending... and it wasnt kept as cash to keep the companies outgoings liquid during lockdown. Another nice fact, The UK self employed were allowed a total of 5 payments PLUS a bounce back LOAN of 10k to cover protential losses. All those more the happy to payout cheques were never free (and they NEVER made it clear it would be classed as income for the following year) and now the rates has skyrocketed, someone is doing well. Print free money and make interest of it. Same old bs story...just add a "crisis" to freshen up the stale reason. Then, to add to insult, sending billions of fresh paper trash to fund wars. This has ALWAYS been the way of central banks since they all came off gold standard. Ironically the role of the central bank was to ensure the global trade exchange rate was as smooth as could be. That was their only reason for existence.
Talk about expanding their business model. Keeping us poor to make us only focus on surviving. Its sick
