There is never any money. Period! Except for the all reasons you mentioned in this post. There is no printing of money either...just a few decimal points get moved in some code of a super computer. It usually lands in a black budget covert program, or in some billionaires offshore account!
This interview with Kelly Loeffler, on Tucker Carlson's show is very informative and revealing, and is a instructional manual on how to play dodge ball...
Ah! Yes, I watched her interview... she puts it on her underlings who manage her portfolio and claims ignorance. Yet, she attended the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings, not them and somehow she invests in 'stay at home' business solutions from Citrix tele-conferencing software. GTFO!
Also, you're right. They don't actually print the money they just add some 1s and 0s at the keyboard and poof! New wealth.
Stay at home solutions huh? That sounds like a good investment opportunity from the other side of the trade lol.
