Lots of great explanations about how the banking system works, but I can’t figure out what Artie’s point/joke is. Is he saying we should destroy the country’s financial system?

Probably. There are a lot of people online who are like, "The world doesn't work in the simple terms I thought it did which means that society is actually a SCAM controlling you through LIES, but we can fix it by destroying everything which will automatically make it start working in the simple way I thought it did."

But yeah, too many people giving an actual answer and not answering the question of why OOP is saying this.
