Personal finance podcast clued me into this at some point.
Every time a loan is used to pay for goods or services, some fraction of that goes back to “the bank” where 90% of it can be loaned out again. Best case, where all money is moved electronically and instantly, I keep seeing that 100 dollars go out and come back a little smaller over and over and over again. The tenth time I see it I can write a loan for about $30.
