Allow me to explain why you live in the most powerful country on earth.

What is the primary US export?
>Our debt

Why would anyone want our debt?
>US treasury bonds generate US dollars

But why would a country want to buy US dollars?
>The US dollar is the most stable, strongest global currency ever invented. Backed by the strongest military to ever exist.

Okay but what does this have to do with why we aren't in a recession?
>It's complicated... But our dollar is the cleanest piece of ass in what turns out is a GLOBALLY rotten whorehouse of financial leverage.

Huh?
>The US risk-free rate is well below that seen in nearly all of the major European economies, South American countries

But what about the Asian countries?
>Yes the Yuan and Yen are not inflating at the rate seen elsewhere but these are very weak currencies regardless, since the countries that back them are either on the verge of demographic collapse (China) or the most levered developed nation to ever exist... that is also already in the middle of demographic collapse (Japan)

So you're saying there won't be a recession?
>No. We are in one right now, remember? They just changed the definition last winter.

WTF
>What does it mean for an entire financial market system built on growth to now face the certainty of terminal population growth within 1 or 2 generations?

WTF part deux
>How can you financially engineer a market to grow while also having fewer people to buy and sell within the market

We're fucked, aren't we
>Absolutely. It's all a game. But don't worry, eventually you die and a few years after than nobody even knows you ever existed. So play the game and have fun.

Good luck anon.
