I don't know that it means much on its own, but it's an interesting part of the context.

    I dont understand why banks can borrow money from the government but citizens cant. Why do I need to go through a middleman for something like this.

    ((I know the answer is capitalism))

    The average rate for you and I has been above it for a few weeks.

    The rate that the media and the government and Epstein class billionaires care about just went above.

    You and I can't see that number, but it's there when they tell us it's there.
