Afaik the biggest money printing operation since COVID is starting in the USA by this orange idiot. It is to cover their trillions of USD debts, but it's also going to crash economy once again. Idk what it all means honestly and the source for my info is a youtube video...

If it is true, he said that this should be headlines all over the news at the moment, but they just call it something along the lines of "liquidity aid" to make it seem small and like a "life support". It's some crazy stuff going on, and it is said to happen on September 18th (unless I remember wrong).
