Remember: the entire debt based usury money system we slave under, is exponential in nature, and every "intervention" (e.g. Q.E.), on average shall (must, mathematically) be exponentially larger than the previous "intervention".

And so is it, it is so ... literally half a trillion dollars of IMF/BIS/Fed bailout over the last six months ("repo crisis liquidity injection"), is not quite enough, and so "due to COVID-19", the next bailout is ... literally a trillion dollars (close to a doubling):

    Why the Repo Market Is Such a Big Deal—and Why Its $400 Billion Bailout Is So Unnerving

      .. A $1 trillion market springs a leak

      .. We estimate that over the first year, the Fed would need to buy roughly $400bn of Treasury securities to achieve an appropriate level of reserves, plus a buffer,” the Bank of America wrote in a research note.
      ...



[
 Whoopsie, did we say $400 billion over 1 year? What we really meant was 6 months, then we shall reassess.
 . . .
 Oh shirt!  Oh dear me!  Yes yes, it's been 6 months, we've pumped the firetruck outta the money printing press and whaddaya know? - we gotta double down, this time a trillion dollars, and fer surely we'll be lucky to make even THAT stretch to 6 months:

    IMF Prepares $1 Trillion [officially $900 billion] Bazooka
    https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/imf-prepares-1-trillion-bazooka

      .. In a blog post published minutes ago, IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva .. declaring that the IMF has $1 trillion in loan capacity ready to put to work to salve the economic damage caused by the outbreak

      .. "The IMF stands ready to mobilize its $1 trillion lending capacity to help our membership. As a first line of defense, the Fund can deploy its flexible and rapid-disbursing emergency response toolkit to help countries with urgent balance-of-payment needs."
      ...



Who could pothibly have predicted thith?

Feel free to enjoy the gluttonous superiority trip from smarmily expounding such deep mathematical truths to the ignorant laity sheeple pleble.

Or actually, perhaps try practicing a little humility instead.

We're gettin' close, muffas . . .

No, because a) this demonstrates we are in a fundamentally messed up money system, b) real estate prices are way out of whack with real (average person) incomes, c) real estate price inflation has itself caused a bunch of system imbalances, wealth divide etc., and surely other reasons still.

The sage having played this game all his life all the time with people all over the world gladly accepted the Kings challenge. To motivate his opponent the king offered any reward that the sage could name. The sage modestly asked just for a few grains of rice in the following manner: the king was to put a single grain of rice on the first chess square and double it on every consequent one. The king accepted the sage’s request.

On the fortieth square, the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice. And, finally, on the sixty-fourth square, the king would have had to put more than 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of rice which is equal to about 210 billion tons and is allegedly sufficient to cover the whole territory of India with a meter thick layer of rice.
