In a national system engineered to create as many hedges as necessary to cover bad decisions, the federal Reserve has turned a free market into a state sponsored system designed to preserve the market capitalization of top tier firms (Fortune 100). No one likes to admit it but the American system is a Corporatacry with sponsored millionaire vassals, government bureaucracies who are controlled by the Legal Class System fueled by money and nothing else. A machine is a kind characterization for a system engineered to be anything but capitalist.
