    Technically I’ve overstated it a bit, the more correct framing is that a major contributor of Trump’s economic policy, Stephen Miran, also wrote a paper called “a user’s guide to restructuring the global trading system” which advocates and provides guidance for removing the dollar as the primary reserve currency of the world.

    But that seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

    I don’t think that that necessarily means we’ll see the ruble in it’s place though.

      What’s you idea behind how the Federal Reserve came to be, what it is, and how that might differ from how it’s perceived? Anything? — just curious

        Far as we remember, banks have always been a thing in one way or another, however one too many banks got robbed, destroyed or worse, everyone cashed out all at once; caused the US gov to initiate an insurance policy, which needed a treasury to fulfill those insurance policies, it was a way to help banks.

        We think that was the beginning of the US federal reserve; if our memory serves us right. Idk the year or specifics, just that tidbit from history. If we’re wrong then please lmk lol

          I’ve formed my own opinions. I was more or less curious how ours might diverge. Appreciate the response nonetheless.

            I’m not going to stumble through my limited knowledge about the entirety of the history of the fed to see if it happens to overlap with whatever you’re getting at. If you have a point, make it.

              No point. I am just someone who is curious because I like to learn new things, and thought perhaps I could spark some discourse toward that effect. It’s my fault for being so unconventional, off topic, and clearly having overestimated your limited knowledge about it. All is well, I would prefer your composure and not your stumble. Have a good day.
