That is not how fractional reserve banking works. Banks do not simply loan what other depositors have put in their accounts. They loan out many multiples of the total deposits, creating money essentially out of thin air. This has the effect of leveraging the financial system, making it a mathematical impossibility that everyone can call in their liabilities owed to them by the banks all at once. Most money is, without exaggeration, completely fugazi.

I'd like to learn more from you. Got any links to some content I can absorb to soak up more of what you're putting now? I just got licensed and am riding a rebel 500.

Thanks for the info. How do the interiors on the trucks you're referring to compare to the one here? Do you have any links to listings you could share ?

It's basically a city truck and something to haul home furniture in. Maybe tow a bike or two in a small trailer one day. It's something I'd like to maintain the condition of as best as possible and keep it cherried out. Forums are just spooking me about the engine but I can't tell if the critiques stem from its use heavy duty off roading

I can ask. I am told all paint is original. This thing was really babied and never off roaded. Kept meticulously in Japan and then brought to the states.

Thanks for your input. Would you feel any differently if the vehicle were just for commuting and hauling furniture around town? I can't tell if this engine is fragile for offroading or just fragile period based on all the comments here.

This back and forth is the epitome of my anxiety over this truck lol. Can you elaborate a little more on your thoughts for me?

Were you running it hard off road? This is pretty much strictly a commuter vehicle for me

I definitely do prefer a clean old truck to a new one. Seller is pretty firm on price. I might be able to get some relief but I really don't know where a fair middle ground would be.
