  4.  @levelazn  The debt China borrowed was largely in US denominated debt. Because who was issuing all the debt? The USA... also Europe... probably Australia and Canadian dollars too. So no.. it'll have as much an impact on the entire financial system. The contagion will spread. What's bad is the cockroaches that become exposed by the collapse of what we do know is bad. We now know there are CBO's (collateralized bullshit obligations) as I like to call them and should be called... that this Chinese junk was packaged just like the USA and Europe did, and sold as double AA tripple AAA golden goose you'll safe investment grade junk bonds. You know there was a time when people understood debt typically was a horrible thing, and literally like getting some crack head on the street handing you a sticky note with IOU loves and kisses... junk bonds... they're trash. But the rich were holding this trash... so they vomited lies screaming cash is trash... so that the peasantry would hustle and bustle into buying this debt trash and other "assets" garbage like so many horrible stocks... fake "internet" money, NFT's... farts in a jar... stupidity run-a-muck.... they pawned it on retail as some weird protest... ummm regular people wouldn't protest via purchasing stocks the very pluto-ratic con baseball cards... and when they don't have much money in the first place. No this was a young bucks stupidity following a well orchestrated fomo stupidity.... many scams going on all at once... from tether to circle in the crypto tulip stupidity... real-estate from China.... idiocy in the entire GME and meme stock stupidity... some big money was literally buying up billboards to get people to buy GME stock... you can't say that was little peasantry retail starting this garbage... and we know who started reddit wall street bets, and that person was pushed aside invaded by some series of people hell bent on getting retail to buy the bags at the top. They were going to put on a show for retail and the peasantry to get them to hand over money to the markets hand over fist. All this stupidity coming to a head. Perhaps we should really finally critically think about our economic systems. They all have been failures to this point. We can invent an economic structure that actually works and works for all of us... not just some elites until they've conned so many people that they too fall apart... some choosing to die... others just turning to swindlers, liars, and cheats to maintain their lavish bloated pig like lifestyles to the last until no more even for them.

  7. The economic system is relying way to heavily on leverage. That's the problem in the nut shell. It's entirely milly mouth to say but don't overdo regulation. WTF? But they need more supervision? Basically this ends up they need bail outs not necessarily tax payer, but even more hideous the stupidity of our age, QE essentially debasing currency to monetize banks risky stupidity issuing so many stupid loans to pump asset prices like homes to larger goods like cars to commodities to finished consumer goods. Pay a wage/salaries that allow for comfortable living and savings and an investment accounts per individual (not house hold). Ensure basics needs to universal healthcare and other sectors that are adverse to competitive market principles are met via tax collection; imagine that, particularly in the USA, our tax dollars funding all our medical needs... already so in almost all other nations on earth. But grow the real economy; let's not play chicken shit hype this and that nonsense raise to dump it all over idiots heads on an IPO that'll end up crashing in someones 401K or IRA etc. leading them to never be able to retire. Real planning on the economy. Let's not use this monetary debt trap shit. There is no free lunch; it only induces miss-allocation of money in the most bozo the clown worthless junk that doesn't help the real economy, so instead of having factories and decent quality homes with pools and nice parks that are affordable to even the lowest income earner, we have those same poorest income levels living in their cars, in tent cities, and RV camps even prior to the pandemic and mounting as the decade from 2008 went on to present.

  9. It's PTSD, I'm in the same boat. But oh well, I still have most of my money so long as currency is still good... and if that goes bad, then all their assets are trash too, we all lose. However, just recently with just a few thousand dollars of my already huge savings started gambling in some stuff... mostly bit shits. Riding the lunatic bubble. Really doing it for fun. Never have formally gambled in slots or played black jack. And dislike scratch tickets and the ridiculous major drawing games. I figure this type of gambling is fun just playing around on the swing trade and maybe at some point when I keep a position to let some of it sit. When the insane happens it goes up a few orders of magnitude again, as it has over the past decade... I'll have an actual amount of money that I can buy a house with, or at least have in my savings for retirement... Anyway, such ridiculous low interest rates, held 11 month CD and some others for almost nothing return. I have savings time and half yearly income. Plus retirement 401k; the gimmick of our generation considering the power that is the defined actual pension plan. I think no matter what you do right now, in a decade or so, things are going to be more insane. There is no better way. I think many of us are serious trouble. After you accept that you become happier again. And that's what matters. But yes, PTSD. I turned 18 in 2001. I saw as a child the "mild" recession 90's savings and loan scandal recession, then the dot com bubble bust, then mid 20 year old the real-estate debt crash... and during this time the complete dismantling of decent paying jobs with asset prices such as homes and even rents increase well beyond that of wages, in fact wages have largely decreased even for college graduates with not just one degree in one subject but several. Then you couple climate change to the race to the bottom.... You're not the only one that forgone the 2010's run up. I thought it was going to crash back in 2016.

  19. Money printer go burr in world debt based monetary systems is actually debt borrowing go burr... And this Chinese debt is over a decade long... salvaging many banks in Europe and the US and other places.... wonder who was taking on all the debt being issued... bingo bango stick a finger in your bung hole. First was Brazil that went bust in about 2015.... Turkey that's been going bust for a while now... and China. Going bust baby. Perhaps that's why the Chinese elites unleashed their virus... they knew this shit was about to blow up... and thought how can we push world monetary policy into overdrive to lend baby lend? Oh yes, pandemic... all nations will flood the system with easy cheesy money, banks will then lend like there's no tomorrow because their central banks or in the case of the US Federal Reserve Bank will buy up these loans from individual banks so banks will love to lend and lend and lend to anyone regardless of credit worthiness... they'll just sell the loan back to the Fed anyway... Nah, not that super conspiratorial... the virus thing just happened probably as the debt implosion was coming closer and closer.... I mean mammoth ghost cities since 2011... and expats showing their videos living in China on this stupidity... the poorly contrived concrete shells of these high rises without any plumbing, electrical works, nothing... sitting abandoned... or freshly built yet the concrete crumbles with a touch of the hand just after a year of completion. Some actually lived in partially or a few people... and the fountains or whatever patio below a decaying wreck... newly constructed 1 or 2 years prior.... looking like it was 20 or 40 years prior. Crazy sauce. What this means to world economies is that supply of money actually will shrink aka a liquidity crisis and prices will eventually have to fall... debt domino. Money is only created in our system via: borrowing. Money is destroyed in our debt based system via repayment of loans, discontinuing on borrowing, and/or not repaying loans aka defaulting. The music... has stopped in many places. And the sound where the music is still trying to poop out a melody, is listening. And the silence is deafening

  24. Mainly because we failed to implement a functioning healthcare system in most nations especially ours in the US. It will drive panics as pockets have COVID19 breakouts, and without any quarantine we have critical panic as people die locally. Quite literally funeral homes inundated requiring refrigerator trailers storing the dead.... worst case they're in non-refrigerated trailers making a horrible odor through every town and city only promoting more shut downs of the economy and mass panic. You'll have an economy that doesn't function at all. Instead of one that at least allows for essential services and goods productions. That's why we don't just: "...keepin' on and go back to livin'." The other option that this doctor is attempting is to make the virus go extinct. This requires lock downs long enough for no more infections worldwide. And that starts with every country quit counting their bozo the clown money and worship the all might buck for a few, and make this virus go extinct. Apparently this is possible as this virus doesn't remain in the body like other viruses do (the herpes strain of viruses including Simplex 1 and 2 and chicken pox that lays dormant in the spinal ganglia and can come back as herpes zosters aka shingles). This one doesn't remain dormant in the body. So it can be made extinct by testing and tracing and quarantine; critical economic functions can continue for essential services and goods and transportation. It is possible. We were on that road, but people in many nations see dollar signs and due to the fact the global economy is one tinderbox or rather domino of debt, so tight it can't fart without the thing cascading down and lighting on fire then going thermal nuclear. So we go on with our lives... the economy will literally go thermal nuclear in panic and disorganized chaos. Was probably going to do this anyway... but this just accelerates it. Or we can act like intelligent species (despite our history screaming at us that we're anything but) and make this virus go extinct.
