Uniparty whoring itself out to communists for 60 years has turned our great nation into a constant laughing embarrassment.

In this system(I'm guessing it's about the same as Canada's) So, there's a direct line to banks and the fed. The bank says "I need x cash" and the fed says "fine at x rate." Money gets transferred, banks send money to other lenders and down the chain.

If however, the banks can't get loans from the fed. Nobody else can get loans except based on the existing capital the banks hold. Since "money has to move to make money" the entire system is effectively choked up, because banks very rarely hold large amounts of capital, liquid or otherwise in reserve unless there's large market instabilities.

Banks can't send money electronically right now.

Paycheck auto deposits (and other ACH push/pulls) can't go through until this is fixed.

Funding private investment accounts just got more difficult as well.
