Vettel? Please... he wouldn't have hit ten, but he definitely would've been eyeing his sixth by now.

Honestly, Wolf could spend three lifetimes trying to thank Lauda for paving the way for Hamilton, and it still wouldn't be enough...

Toto knows exactly what he's doing and exactly where Bottas needs to get out of the way.
It's pretty interesting how he still follows orders without question, no matter what happens.

What do you mean "follows orders"? If it weren't for that Safety Car, he would've finished fourth—total disaster.

And it's not even about following orders, his contract is up. He didn't earn an extension, and I'm pretty sure he knows that too...

I’ve got a feeling that before you even get around to finishing the subdivision process, you won't be able to transfer any PART of the house into your own name...

You’re looking at this all wrong. Think about it like a carpenter who picks up some raw lumber for $33—through sheer skill, sweat, and time, he turns that wood into high-end doors and sells them for $667. It’s the exact same deal for a bank; they take money as input and use various investments—loans being just one tiny slice of the pie—to grow that capital into something much larger.

By the way, how did you even land on those $68 numbers in the first place? If there were actually a fixed amount of money in the world—which, by the way, is a completely flawed assumption—then if Steve wanted to pay back a loan with interest, he’d have to earn that extra cash somewhere else. So, let's say he sells a massive batch of doors... that just moves his capital to a third party, leaving the total sum at $67
But honestly, your logic is way too oversimplified... and if you keep thinking like that, you're never going to wrap your head around how the money market actually works.

If it were actually simple, you’d probably have figured it out by now, wouldn't you?! 😉

Look, man—if you want to wrap your head around monetary economics, you really need to nail down the basics first. Grab a copy of Samuelson... just fly through the fundamentals, I guess... and then maybe we can talk about money multipliers. 👍

I'm kinda clueless here and don't get how anything can be made from nothing.

Why on earth do you think economics is actually simpler than that? Honestly, that’s the whole issue right there—everyone seems to think economics is this self-explanatory, straightforward, totally basic thing. It's not.
Just sit down, pick up a book, read some peer-reviewed journals... even that Wikipedia entry is actually pretty solid if you give it a chance. It might help things click for you.

Wow, you really think you simplified it, don't you? Look, the Federal Reserve isn't something you can just wrap up in a single social media post... honestly. Maybe try hitting up a local library sometime—they’ve got stacks of textbooks on how the Federal Reserve actually functions, most of them running pretty heavy at 400 to 700 pages... just grab one, sit down, and actually read it. It might help clear things up for you.
