As far as I understand the federal reserve is not technically part of the government but a private institution. It has shareholders not unlike a public company and those shareholders are the big banks like JPM. I'm not sure if those are the same as the so called primary dealers or if there is just an overlap. You are correct that the actual printing of physical cash is done by the government on behalf of the fed, I think by the treasury.

Gold is less risky (in the counter party risk sense) so perhaps that.

Gives you an X server that you can connect to with spice. It's bare bones (no audio, etc.), but looks useable.

Disturbing others with smells is already against the law. There have been cases of renters getting kicked out for bothering nighbors with tobacco smoke. Some amount of smell is just part of life. I also have so smell disgusting (to me) food sometimes.

There are also restrictions where you can and can't smoke, like schools, playgrounds or sports fields.

Consumption of all drugs is legal in Germany. The problem is buying/selling/production, as well as simple possession. I think this is the case in most countries.

I guess that would have been more correct, yes. It shows the same pattern in any case.

Historically, a recession follows shortly AFTER the fed starts cutting rates. See also: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y/ The grey areas are recessions.

The sanctions are working. It's killing the German industry.

Yes, because industries (chemical especially) have already shut down their operations. Gas throughput is lower than before.

If you are offended or amused you are interpreting it correctly.

EDIT: Maybe I got it wrong but as as I understand grandparent is referring to the increasingly Weimar-like conditions politically and economically.

My grandparents lived through this and were fine. It'll be ok I'm sure.
