    Not OP, but first and foremost, on this bond thing, countries are going to have to be willing to take a beating in their own economies.

    Selling off bonds is like Elon selling off Tesla. The worth/wealth disappears if the market is flooded with paper.

    Another condition is in our face: The Buffett Index, which is total stock market value vs. GDP. We topped 200% for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was around 130% in 1929 and 2008. Most of that bullshit money is in AI. We got real problems.
