What the FED fears more than anything is deflation. After all, they get a nice little chunk out of each and every transaction men make.
Interest rates are already squadoosh.
They have no more arrows in their quiver to stave off a collapse.
They just printed a big ole stack of Benjis, and inflation is peaking out of its cave ready to eat everyone's lunch. It can do that for a while until all the lunches are gone, and then no one has any money to buy more. Then the price starts dropping dramatically because what's the point of buying it when it's just going to be snatched away from you. As the price visibly falls from day to day, people say, "Hey I think I'll wait until tomorrow when I know the price will be cheaper." Then it's on like Donkey Kong, prices contracting until the people making lunches say, "Well, this isn't worth it"
What can someone do when they are on the wrong side of the supply and demand rule? I think of dairy farmers tossing out all of their milk
They could restrict the flow of goods so that demand is higher than supply. Maybe even prevent products ordered from being delivered. Genius!
But then what of the rising prices due to inflation mangled together with printing money, higher demand, and no one having any money left?
Let them eat cake!
Since they have all of the assets of the world, they don't care about inflation. What they care about is what the "value" of their assets retain. When things crash as they always do, it's asset holders that rise from the ashes to enslave your children. It's been done over and over.
Sir! Bring me but one more currency, this one seems to have a fly in it.
But, I literally saw you put the fly in it!
I haven't really looked into it, but I bet those pesky rich are gathering up as many hard assets as they can.
I have a theory (economics)

Or maybe they are just trying to kill us
Either way, enjoy the apocalypse
