I hear you on that one. Retirement savings? I don’t really know what that is and in all honesty I think it’s an urban legend…
What really gets me is the debt tranching. Same game as '08 just with datacenter loans instead of mortgages and much bigger numbers. These guys have over $662 billion in debt OFF BOOK, which is 113% of their on-balance-sheet debt. That’s according to Moody’s. But other numbers are even more disgusting, Meta’s hidden debt is around $420 billion – three times its transparent debt. Who’s going to get stuck with all this debt once it pops? The same people who got stuck with the MBS bill. You and me.
We (the middle class) went from capturing 25% of GDP in the 60’s and 70’s to capturing 7% today. Wealth inequality is the highest it’s been since 1929. The only metals getting purchased now are the ones going into datacenters, which will likely only get paid off by a further reduction of our GDP capture once these companies go belly-up.

It’s why I’d buy Platinum or some other metal of value as a retirement plan.
If I had any money.
