Actual woodgas is a different thing, the problem with it is it's an actual internal combustion engine with all of the reliability issues those have.

This is a "gasification boiler" (just means it re-burns the smoke to get better efficiency), but it has a sterling engine (1 moving part, very reliable) that generates power from the temperature difference.

There's this which is pretty much industrialized: https://www.oekofen.com/en-gb/pellematic-condens_e/ but it requires wood pellets rather than logs.

Very little written about this, but apparently there exists a wood boiler with an integrated sterling engine that makes 1KW of electricity.

Gresham's Law: People hoard good money and spend bad money

Also, as long as people can borrow dollars, they'll be happy to borrow and spend them, after all, they're devaluing over time... It's just nobody wants to HOLD dollars, nobody (outside of like drug dealers) does have any significant cash balance. Everyone has some kind of asset, if they have anything at all.

What's funny is he thought he FBI would behave like the FBI of his youth.
But actually, they behaved like the FBI that his generation created.
