OK kek, thanks for the clarification.
One point I need convincing on is commodity prices being genuine and not just speculation. I get the lumber supply shock, and oil being pretty much decided. But lots of other commodities are basically just CME contracts. /BTC futures are now nearly half of all BTC volume. Manipulation of PMs is pretty transparent by now. So it seems risky to go into a commodity producer when you can't tell if the demand down the line is genuine.

Spending money on a lot of other shit as well.
In Argentina I know they spent a lot on public utilities / infrastructure that was later privatized by the IMF. I know they also did a LOT of social gibs programs. Did these both contribute to their monetary situation?
Japan did a lot of fiscal spending too. Need to deep dive I guess.
