Already own a trained arabian hunting falcon? Collateralize it. Secure a loan financing another falcon. That falcon? Collateralize it too. There's no end to the number of falcons you can buy. The bank bundles its interests into a Falcon Backed Security and sells it. EVERYONE WINS https://t.co/l5Ob8Yj17o

Circling back to this thread about @NFTmachine and how he rugged hundreds of ETH from presalers earlier this year. The man went on to become an 'NFT influencer', flipping NFTs and providing 'alpha'. Meanwhile, the @0peNFT tg is muted still, and the days go by. For shame! 👇👇👇 https://t.co/3kMUZnjaXc

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Man the reductionism never ends. The illusion that either the Treasury or the Fed has sole responsibility for "the money" is just a total failure of framing. It's both. And with a bit of finesse, we might even understand why the Treasury's powers are now in focus. 1/
