We’re seeing the largest credit bubble in human history.

Empty shacks with no tenants and a mortgage, what could go wrong?

China’s economy is built on unsustainable growth and when that falls it’s taking the rest of the world with it.

Think about this.

When the US housing bubble popped, it took the world economy with it. What do you think would happen if that debt was almost five times as large?

That’s the Chinese debt bubble. It’s not a theoretical, that’s actually happening. The bubble will pop when China stops building ghost cities. Given they’re already 85 trillion dollars in debt from this alone, that will happen soon.

ther is no shtf cataclycismic collapse agreed

but there is a major correction coming, and because 'times are fucked" or "capitalism is broken" but because cycles of boom and bust are part of the system.
It's been 11 years since the last bust, debt levels are way higher now than at the time, interest rates are so low there is no wiggle room left.
China was a buffer for the last crisis, but the next one comes from China, which is garanteed to take most of Asia down with it.
Based on the aftermath of the 1997 Asian markets crash and how much these markets have grown their share of the global economy, you can expect a pretty gruesome bloodbath when it comes, i.e solid buy opportunities for those who time it right

Now her job (for the next person) is temp part time contract BS no benefits at 60k/yr phd preferred. lmao. Her first house was 114k in 1991. Less than 2x her gross.

well people have only been working your typical 40hr a week jobs relatively recently in the grand scheme of history. when these structured jobs came out employers were paying an honest amount, thats why in the 50s you could afford a family on one person working. sure inflation has something to do with the change but I doubt it, its mainly a slow progression of reducing employee amount and maximizing their efficiency, too many people going to college, and outsourcing tons of jobs.

companies are greedy as shit and thats the reason people dont work places their entire life and tend to look elsewhere after a couple years.

I've read about China's debt problems, so hopefully I can somewhat elucidate it for /biz/.
- Society puts enormous pressure on young men to become property owners; if you don't have a house, then you're nothing and no woman will marry you. Families pool resources to purchase them properties just so they have the slightest chance at securing a woman and thus having kids.
- People often fail to acknowledge that China is still a communist state. Central planning still exists, although it's more behind-the-scenes now, and effectively managed through targets, quotas, implied threats and, if that all fails, direct government intervention. There is no distinction between public and private; state and individual.
- Most large companies and basically all 'mission-critical' companies (as decided top-down by the state) are effectively guaranteed by the government. What this does is gives such companies blanket powers and incentivises rampant speculation. If they fail, the government bails them out. Simple!
- Chinese people have the highest marginal propensity to save in the world: 40%. The state, through its banks, has a monopoly on these savings through wealth management products, offering decent rates of return and effectively guaranteed by the government. An ingenious method for reharvesting its peoples capital.
- China, while quite centralised, does give provinces a large amount of autonomy in certain areas, but demands they hit targets, of which the two overriding ones are growth and stability. The easiest way to achieve them is for provinces to support crooked monopolies and squash dissent. Furthermore, they have a strange method of cycling money around by 'loaning' large tracts of land to property developers, who then convert it to these ghost cities you see everywhere.

Well I'm pretty sure all the major players (e.g. Soros, Buffet) have been saying China is about to collapse for two decades now and have obviously been proven wrong. China is making huge geopolitical gains in SEA, Asia (building pipelines from Beijing to Pakistan's coast) and, of course, Africa. The state is heavily investing in surveillance and control technology (e.g. social score, CCTV with facial recognition, big data) and, given another decade or two, will effectively have total control over their citizenry. Total control means total collapse is, if not impossible, highly improbable.
Given that stability over everything is China's doctrine, you're more likely to witness a slow regression rather than a sudden collapse.

"Within their means" is a constantly shifting goalpost. Most people aren't terrible with their money. Not saying American's couldn't significantly improve their spending habits with some careful budgeting, but what really fucks most people is compounding interests on shit they need but couldn't afford otherwise. Things like reliable cars, clothes that don't look like shit for work, household repairs, emergencies, etc... The "within their means" assumption is only valid if someone manages to break into a good career without somehow accruing debt and lives like a monk otherwise. If they can't accomplish that, then what's the point of being hyper-responsible and thrifty when being in debt will almost always lead to a higher quality of life, like >>13112108 said.
