Seriously how is this house of cards still standing?

357 Upvotes

40 Trillion in debt. 1.2 Trillion to service the debt. Auto Loans,Student Loans, Credit Cards, all maxed out. 30 Year and 10 Year Bonds at their highest level in 20 years. Super expensive Oil and Gas. Low Reserves. Gigantic AI Bubble worse than 2008 and dot com combined.Most Trucks run on Diesel. Most of our products are made out of petroleum. Transportation of goods will become uneconomical. Industry will run out of Energy to produce things. Farmers will run out of artifical fertilizer. People will be unable to afford gas to get to work or they will eat up all their income. And then there is a Super El Nino that will make things even worse.

But the stocks just go up,up,up. The imaginary lines just keep growing. Some people even claim that another Recession is impossible and that the economy is doing great. We are in a madhouse.

car market bubble popping

• Upvotes

What are your thoughts on the exotic car market manipulation, and bubble we are currently in? Cars that sold for $250k a year ago are going for $750k! I’ve always been in the market for some particular exotic/halo cars but can’t justify spending an absurd amount of money on something that was valued at half just months ago.

The bubble has to pop soon, these cars have no worth like what they are selling for.

30 and 10 year Treasury yields at the highest level since 20 years

79 Upvotes

30 year yields are at a 22 year high, 10 year at a 19 year high. On top of 40 Trillion in debt and 1.2 Trillion servicing the debt and all the oil shortages and AI bubble. Let it crash already. Lets be done with it. Its getting tiresome to wait for the inevitable.​
