"This latest global debt wave has been the biggest, fastest, and most wide-ranging rise since World War II, coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic."
This is why I am going to happily keep on stacking my sats because this is obviously unsustainable and ridiculously widespread!

Shouldn't some of this debt cancel out? 😅

Quite frankly ya hit the nail on the head here! What I do not know much about but am curious is China. They have their public-facing debt amount but then has the enormous shadow debt boogeyman which from what I understand is a bunch of companies really passing the money around between them all and each taking parts of the other... Somehow that one has to cancel out lmao!
The US debt which makes up a ton of this is mostly held by citizens so no cancelation out there!

They will print more, borrow more, lend more, show more, suggest more but they won't do anything for people's good.
And who 'they' are? They are idiots sitting on the cusp of every country's highest chair.
