    80% now, 20% months later? Reminds me of Fractional Reserve Banking, where USA federal banks could invest 90% of deposited money, leaving only 10% of your savings "in savings".

    I just looked it up, and this seems to have dropped from 10% to 0% on March 15,2020, which "eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions" https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm

    Perhaps this explains the problems people have been having with Bank of America and being unable to withdrawal their money/paychecks. The money is no longer at the bank!

    Right now google could do antics like this and much more, and their employees would still stay… and they know it

    The entire financial system is in much worse shape than anyone could imagine.
