People have been saying that for decades. How many decades of successful operation are worth then having a couple of years of "won't end well"? Also why do we think that any other system would "end well" (whatever that specifically means)? It's not like there were never any economic crises or instability before FED and other organizations started manipulating the system that way.

I'm French and I'm convinced that in less than 2 years from now I won't pay with Euros anymore (maybe Francs or South Euros or whatever they will invent). So at least for me it doesn't end well very soon. But even the FMI boss called for a big reset.

I've come around to the idea that without those the system would fall apart. And that the EU does not appear to have anything at that scale. Also in the US banking is 100% backstopped by the Fed.
