    The rate at which US working class people are racking up debt is astounding right now. Post-COVID in the face of corporate profiteering price increases has left us unable to pay the bills, so we start borrowing to maintain a way of life (or even just to live at all). Phase I was draining what savings were there, Phase II is now piling up debt while the 1% do stock buybacks. Phase III? Not sure, but it isn’t likely to be sunshine and lollipops.
