Honestly do they have a choice?

Not to be a doomsayer, but with rising inflation (again) due to tariffs, probable layoffs due to reduced demand on american goods due to tariffs and combine that with high interest to fight the self-induced inflation, people will default, a lot. Even domesctically produced goods will be hit with inflation due to potash tariffs.

Iā€™m seeing in my unqualified crystal ball, a depression happening.

Yes, let it crash. Hard reboot the economy. Kicking the can since 2008 has screwed everyone.

That was nearly 20 years ago. There is no hard rebooting the economy. The entire economy is based around the federal government propping up loser businesses and insanely useless tech enterprises. There is no rebuilding this house of cards.

For the generation that will never be able to buy a house it is.

If we keep kicking the can, the next generation won't even be able to afford rent.
