The bank can’t survive with 0% interest rate?
Growing wealth and wage inequality raises the default rate of loans. Rising student and home loan defaults diminish profitability. Many banks adopt high risk coupled with high reward (or high failure) business models. Greater risk is correlated with greater failure as illustrate by the 2008 economic crisis where high risk subprime mortgage derivatives became world famous.
Derivatives exposure for banks has been discussed ad infinitum for many years. Losses in derivatives / investment markets, another area where banks sometimes have trouble.
On the topic of central banks, many are privately owned and produce profits.
The financial crisis as moneymakerAug. 31, 2009
Dan Gross pointed it out Friday, and the NYT joins in today: The government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program is starting to look like a moneymaker—or at least no longer like a giant hole into which money is poured. Meanwhile, the FT reports that the Federal Reserve has made a $14 billion profit on its various crisis-fighting loan programs. This is great! Let’s a have a financial crisis every year!
https://business.time.com/2009/08/31/the-financial-crisis-as-moneymaker/ Let’s me get this straight
The mega rich know:
“The best way to rob the bank is to own the bank”
The mega rich elite also know:
“GIVE me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.”
The mega rich definitely know how to make profit by manipulate the bank and interests rate.
My assumption
“The best way to rob the small medium business, the people and every other peasants(include your kids, your grand kids, grand grand kids...), is to own the interest rate privilege”
This make a lot of sense, the mega rich can rob everybody easily by manipulating the interest rate at their will, they care no who take the loan, all of them has to die by pillage of debt.
How do they make it work? Interest rate is some sort of “silent tax”, the govt definitely love to tax everybody to death, “nobody can escape tax and death”, is it possible to increase these “silent tax” through manipulating interests rate? Yes it is quite possible, since they have the control of the money and the interest rate, why can’t they make it work? They just need to make everybody else pay this “silent tax” while they themselves pay absolutely 0% of this “silent tax”, yup it’s a major scam, a scam to rip off the 99% while enrich the 1%.
