    The US feds are printing money and keeping interest rates low. There was supposed to be a depression back in March 2020 but they've all gotten gigantic bailouts.

      The interest rate thing is insane. Home prices have absolutely skyrocketed everywhere. I thought it was just a thing on the coasts but talking to my friends back in the midwest and prices there are at levels I would never have dreamed of. Among my small social circle I know three middle class folks who are buying houses. This can't be good, it has to be creating some sort of bubble, right?
