"Money Supply: M2 Decline"

We have such a huge worldwide issue with the money supply. Especially in America, "Land of the Spenders not the Savers", Debt Addicts all contributing to the financial dysfunction. Here we sit, (too lazy to stand and fight) close to $34 Trillion in debt, a ridiculous Debt to GDP ratio, paying ridiculous interest rates, ridiculous FED experts, ridiculous majority of Americans oblivious to what is going when you simply print money and inflate the money supply.

Here is what I think is a fantastic article explaining what is going on with M2 and the Money Supply.

U.S. Money Supply Is Doing Something Not Seen Since the Great Depression, and a Big Move in Stocks May Follow

U.S. money supply has four measurement standards, of which M1 and M2 are, by far, the most popular. M1 takes into account cash and coins in circulation, as well as easily accessible cash, such as traveler's checks and demand deposits in a checking account. Meanwhile, M2 factors in everything in M1 and adds money market accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs) below $100,000. Think of this as capital that's still within reach, but it requires more work to get to. This latter measurement, M2, is what's turning heads on Wall Street.

But something interesting has happened over the past 15 months. Since M2 reached $21.7 trillion in July 2022, this oft-overlooked datapoint has declined.

Mind you, very small moves lower in M2 money supply have occurred dating back more than a century. But there have only been a small handful of instances -- five, to be exact -- where M2 has meaningfully declined by at least 2% on a year-over-year basis. Four of these previous drops occurred in 1878, 1893, 1921, and 1931-1933. The fifth instance, and first since the Great Depression, is ongoing right now, with M2 money supply down 3.17% from the prior-year period, and 4.37% from the July 2022 peak, as of September 2023.

p.s. my picture is my dog Odesa, daughter born there. Stop Wars, cut off the Money Supply.

Use something instead with finite supply, scarce, built for peace and low time preference for all?
