that was a odd one.  that allowed banks to literally print
money they do not have.

haven't followed how that got messed up.

are you referring to vulture capitalism? there are other
strageties to buy-up previous companies, re-branding and make
the same industry thrive again.

maybe just invest your money into bank stocks, or into the tech
that is driving AI (gpu manufacturer, for example), or the
companies that are providing tech for EVs?

depends on how long the new or current administration is in
power. it would be hard for newly elected leadership to deal
