I've been working on my PC too much. I was trying to think about why platinum was good for hard drives and that 1 TB isn't all that impressive storage anymore.

I read that as "Yemen" and was very confused for a minute.

Why stop at $1T when it's just as easy to mint one for $5T?

I'd sell them a few for a really good price of just $500 billion each. And buy five get two free. I'll even gift wrap.

Not like there’s already more debt in the world than actual money.

Meaning, if at this second. Every debt in the world were to be paid. There’s not enough around.

Also, there are zero nations in the world without debt. And then banks are bitching that debt is bad…

What would happen if we printed, say, 50 of these coins? Debt be gone and money for investments. Would all money be wortheless? Yeah, probably, but what if we accidentally dropped the coins into the ocean? Like, good luck, dropped from 30,000 ft into the Pacific.

Say all this happens, do we have wheelbarrows of bills for a loaf of bread or are we good?

It would be more or less the same as if congress raised the debt ceiling by 50T or got rid of it entirely. Not a whole lot would happen unless congress also authorized the Treasury to spend all that money.

When do we get to tar and feather her and Jerome Powell for their gross incompetence?

Yellen isn't failing miserably like JPow. She's not the one who spent the better part of 2022 trying to scare lenders rather than admit that business are price gouging.
