Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Market St, San Francisco

Destroyed the American economy by ignoring its price stability mandate, and the most elementary principles of economics. Replaced the corrective function of the business cycle with permanent asset inflation. Priced small business out of access to commercial real estate store front, underwriting greater capital and business consolidation, and undermining competition. Ignored massive inflation by use of an illegitimate CPI measurement which obviously undercounts housing inflation. Priced young workers and families out of entire swaths of housing across desirable American geographies. Entrenched access to credit, and therefore existing capitalization, as the greatest criterion of success. This furthers capital consolidation and loss of competition. Suppressed wages by consolidating capital and policies supportive of monopolistic and oligopolistic distributions of market share across most sectors, thereby granting business more control over wages. No longer provides access to even copper coin money for private individuals as inflation has made the provision of true coin money unprofitable. Destroyed the US Dollar as a stable unit of account, and brought US Dollar reserve currency status to an critically tenuous position.

For some time now the Fed's easy money policies have contributed to America's extreme wealth inequity, and now the Fed has failed at its primary mission: price stability. I say, changes are in order...

Mandating employees to share their vaccination status on a vaccine that’s not FDA approved. Completely unacceptable and disheartening as I have invested a decade of my life to this organization to be ousted for not wanting to put my life in jeopardy knowing 3 people who have personally became paralyzed after receiving the vaccine and/or died. Update. All employees must be vaccinated or will have to quit their job. What happen to medical freedom?

I'm sorry, but all you Illuminati conspiracy theorists would be a lot more credible if you actually understood that the Treasury prints our money, not the the Federal Reserve. The Fed destroys old currency that is tattered and needs to be removed from circulation. Furthermore, the Fed has not raised interest rates in a very long time, and, in fact, the Fed interest rate is now near zero. And finally, the Fed is neither a government agency nor a privately held institution. It's called a quasi-governmental agency and the reason it is that way is to prevent psychotic politicians from taking control of the bank while still allowing Congress to have a say in how it's run. Go back to high school civics class. Apparently they failed you. But hey, it's a free country and that tin hat suits you well!

Knew some history about it. Nice looking building around the financial district.

It plans to destroy America by raising the interest rates... they're UN-AMERICAN and can print billions of dollars whenever they feel like it without ANY oversight. Me, You, ou kids and our future grand children will end up having to pay for their choices..

Cool tour takes you through the vault, and other rooms with history of the Fed and a great room with old dollars and privately issued currencies (like the JP Morgan dollar). Neat history.

Word on the street is there is some money there? Who knows. Nice little museum like place in front (Market street side) that gives you some of the history surrounding that location. (obviously?) a high security location.

I like how they print our money, give it to us at an interest, then give it to us to pay our debt. What a paradox. And all the Dept. Of homeland security police makes it a little unsettling walking around

This is a privately owned Bank.. it's not an American government Bank nor is it the Bank of the USA People..
