- kbaker 5y agoThat M1 discontinuity at least has an explanation: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2021/05/savings-are-now-more-liquid-and-part-of-m1-money/ https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2021/05/savings-are-now-more... Still a lot of money being printed, but not 10s of Trillions.
- merpnderp 5y agoMaybe 1/4th of that is regulation changes on m1 versus m2 holdings, so just banks moving money around. But yes, they printed a crap ton of money.
