>Does any business operate this way, including the one you work at? Maybe it means that some institutions, especially ones with such a critical role as controlling the money supply, perhaps should not be run with a for-profit model, but some other model that better ensures the institution will serve the public interest, rather than the interest of an exceedingly small handful of elites. Typing this out it seems even more obvious. It may come as a shock to some people, but capitalism isn't an immutable law of nature. There are such things as alternatives.

>but some other model that better ensures the institution will serve the public interest Your social concerns are completely detached from reality if you're shedding tears over people with jumbo loans that are unable to refinance their million dollar mortgages from 4% to 2%. It's theatre. I appreciate your white-collar, anti-capitalist rant, though. Unfortunately, when SHTF, the truly down trodden might even consider people like this part of the problem. I don't think they'll buy the idea that "we're all on the same team!". >It may come as a shock to some people, but capitalism isn't an immutable law of nature. There are such things as alternatives. You're right, we should put our non-elite, galaxy brain politicians, the Trumps and Pelosis and Bidens and Bush's of the world, in charge of controlling the money supply.
