WE'RE DROWNING IN BANANAS

By Mauro Marturano

Starting in 2008, with the "fall" of Lehman Brothers (I say "fall" because by now you should (???๐Ÿ˜‚) have understood that banks are structurally empty boxes: they should have ALL fallen, or none of them!), and, above all, in 2020, with the great shame, we witnessed (or, rather, you should have witnessed and understood ๐Ÿ˜) an unprecedented issuance of money.

To understand what happened, and to grasp the obvious consequences, I'll use the example of bananas. An example that, actually, is even a bit more flattering (as I'll explain at the end) than what really happened.

Let's imagine that the economy of Ciutadella de Menorca runs, regulates itself, and uses as its currency... bananas ๐Ÿ˜‚. And let's say that every day, at the port, boats arrive loaded exclusively with bananas ๐Ÿ˜‚ (= reckless issuance of bananas) and there are helicopters dropping endless crates of bananas ๐Ÿ˜‚.

It seems clear to me that, if someone wants to sell a house, they'll demand more bananas every day, because, while the house is a scarce good, bananas are flooding the island ๐Ÿ˜‚, more and more every day.

Such a reckless issuance of money (bananas) could only make asset prices explode. Assets explode because the unit of measurement, the bananas, has been counterfeited through reckless, but deliberately fraudulent, issuance.

If you still don't get it even put this way, go get yourself checked out... by the top specialists, spare no expense ๐Ÿ˜‚.

As I said, bananas are actually an even better unit of measurement than money. Because, while you can't do anything with money, bananas can be eaten and, in the case of the less ripe ones, can also be used as dildos ๐Ÿ˜‚.
