Consumer debt is on the rise in America, fueled by soaring inflation and economic uncertainty. Credit card debt increased by 30% in February alone, while interest rates have doubled in the past year. Many consumers are turning to credit cards to cover basic living expenses, creating a dangerous cycle of debt. Wild times!

The human capital issue in the US is worse than lynn is suggesting. It's not just that we don't have people trained in this or that. The latest generation are having trouble reading and what I'll call "numbers".

In 1946, Keynes (then in the UK Govt) decided AGAINST devaluation, because the UK economy was in tatters & exports couldn't increase even if prices were lowered. The situation in the US is worse - 1 or 2 generations either moronified or playing parasitic FIRE games & a 'health care' mafia that leaves Al Capone in the dust. To put up tariffs (selective devaluation) will mostly raise import prices & give even more money to government coffers. We need a multi-year policy that STARTS with rebuilding & retraining, rewards companies that move back and reigns in the parasites - with a plan to impose tariffs in the future when domestic supply is in place... Otherwise we face BIG BEAUTIFUL BANKRUPTCY

Alden one of the best financial voices we have right now. She brings a lot of global historical knowledge with a real understanding of the modern financial system.
