Thanks to the rollback of protections enacted after the 2008 financial crisis, we currently have a housing bubble even bigger than the one that we had in 2008. We also have a subprime auto loan bubble that seems to be popping right now, a student loan bubble that is on the brink of popping, and a credit card debt bubble that is rapidly inflating. Add that to paying higher interest rates on a national debt that has increased by over $21 trillion since Trump was elected in 2016, and we are looking at an economy that is on the verge of complete collapse.

Don't worry. Next year at some ambiguous point, musk is going to give every American child exactly one stock in spacex. Boom. Problem solved.
