Balling joined General Grant at City Point, Virginia, during the campaign against Richmond and spent five weeks there sketching officers in the field. Philip H. Sheridan was painted while in the Shenandoah Valley; the portraits of William T. Sherman and George H. Thomas were done in Washington, D.C., after the war’s end. The image of George A. Custer, second from the left, is thought to be the only portrait painted of him from life.

But who has the ability to do this?
Running a reserve currency also comes with responsibilities. During the 2008 financial crisis, and again during the COVID pandemic, the Federal Reserve let central banks in Germany, France, Switzerland, the U.K., Japan, and other nations use its “swap line” facilities, through which they could exchange their currencies for dollars—essentially granting them access to the dollar printing press, at a modest price. Close U.S. allies could thereby rely on the dollar, knowing that if a general crisis struck, the Fed would serve as a global lender of last resort, and stave off a general currency crisis.

We absolutely need econ stats that reflect people's lived reality. Some of those stats do exist. The (U-6) unemployment rate includes most of the factors he suggests and it looks pretty low compared to the past.
