This is the real story nobody on Wall Street wants to admit: the financial world is booming, but the real economy is bleeding. People are skipping meals, drowning in debt, and struggling to pay rent while markets hit record highs. Money printing didn’t just inflate assets, it shredded everyday life for millions. You can’t celebrate GDP growth when families can’t put bread on the table.
Agreed. Feels like we’re hitting “peak consumption”. We’re become hardwired to consume every waking minute. Whether it’s doom scrolling on toilet or listening to Spotify when simply walking – it’s all just consumption. Seems like living off the grid the only solution.

Bessent is finally getting it – small problem: if the BOJ hikes rates again it will be equivalent to set up a fire in the Japanese financial system powder keg. I am not so sure Bessent wants to get there
Rather than playing with basis points all these folks MUST FIX THE DEFICIT https://t.co/kGgMBC5k3P pic.twitter.com/hdUFJrPtgY
