Yeah, it’s a fair question — especially with the dollar’s strength and how much capital gets sucked into finance and tech while manufacturing keeps thinning out. Feels like the U.S. version of Dutch Disease is more about financialization than oil, but the end result’s similar: hollowed-out real economy, bloated asset markets, and a strong currency that makes exporting harder. Curious to hear what @Undisciplined and @SimpleStacker think, but it’s not far-fetched to say the U.S. might already be showing symptoms.
