Commercial Banks and Savings and Loan establishments are not the same as the Federal Reserve.

If you loan neighbor George $100 - that is the end of the line for that currency, no inflation.

If you desposit $100 in the bank and the fractional reserve requirements are set at 20% - the bank can lend $80 of your $100 to George and now there is $180 in circulation. Money supply grows.

Reserve requirements were lowered to 0% during Covid (infinite money glitch). Im not sure they have been raised since?
