    No one wants to talk about it, or even imagine it exists to any meaningful extent. But it surely does. And it will inevitably prove our undoing. The
    day of reckoning approaches...

    This is standard Cursitor Doom fatuous alarmism. Ponzi schemes depend on
    a steady stream of gullible suckers, and international banking doesn't
    offer that.

    People borrow money to invest in profitable activities, and these
    activities have to be profitable enough to pay the interest on the
    borrowed money.

    Lots of debt is just the mark of a busy and profitable economy.

    Japan went through a period where it over-valued it's real estate, but
    that does seem to have finally got sorted out.

    Zero Hedge is in the business of generating fatuously alarmist stories
    for gormless idiots like Cursitor Doom who get an emotional thrill from
    reading them. They are in the same business as Barbara Cartland was - generating "true romances" to let shallow twits wet their knickers.

    "Successful implementation of the Great Reset is nothing short of a totalitarian pseudo-Communist dictatorship. This would be a neo-feudal,
    fascist world government.."

    Wow, that's disconcerting. That's basically all the scary words, right
    there. Should probably call it a totalitarian pseudo-Communist Nazi
    neo-feudal fascist DEI world government to really cover all the bases,
    though.

    Not a bad try, but the original wording was more pithy IMV.
    Anyway, it appears Joe, Jill and their cronies on the Hill are frantically stuffing their carpet bags to bursting point with all the ill-gotten gains they've been able to stash-away over the past 4 years. Poor Mr. Trump will
    find an empty wallet(*) left on his desk for his team and will have to
    slash spending accordingly.

    *Empty - 'cept for a couple of dead moths.

    It's a mystery to those of us in the RotW why on earth you allow the
    losing side to remain in power for so long after their mandate is lost. It positively *invites* this kind of spiteful malpractice.

    Taking meaningless word-salad seriously is Cursitor Domm's speciality.

    Zero Hedge would see it that way. It's the kind of message that sells to
    people silly enough to take them seriously.

    The US transition of power arrangements were set up when the fastest long-distance communication system was a string of semaphore towers

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telegraph

    The founding fathers might not have known about them. One might have
    thought that the US might have tidied up their constitutional
    arrangements to reflect advances in technology, but somebody usually
    makes money out antique defects. and Trump is a very defective antique.
