    I mean… it’s isn’t those things. It’s literally a government agency. It can’t “make profit”, it literally is the banking system, not a bank itself.

      It is literally not a government agency. It operates under a mandate from congress, but is not a government agency.

      Congress isn’t a business, but Pelosi sure made a shitton of money off of insider trading. At best we live in an oligarchy that poses as a democratic republic. The votes follow the money, not vice versa.
