This mountain of debt has been building since the Federal Reserve was created, and we are the collateral. Government and private finance has been deliberately shifted from productivity and savings to speculation and debt. Whether it was more well-intentioned ignorance with a dash of hubris, or a malicious conspiracy, we're victims of over a century of bad ideas and decisions exponentially piling up. Time to reject it. The beast will fight to survive, but it's literally us or them.
