America’s Debt Bomb Explodes: $1.25 Trillion in Credit Card Debt Signals Economic Crisis (~10min)

World Affairs in Context | Wednesday June 03, 2026

Super podcast. Thanks Lena! It just goes to show the dangers that NAFTA brought about that allowed consumerism to be way too large a share of the US Economy. The oddity is that the money is there but in very unequal ways. I think the super rich at the top need to take a massive pay cut. But they won't, and they won't have to, and that's the problem. I don’t see a way out of this one.

The two wars - in Ukraine and between the US/Israel and Iran - go on. and both are intensifying. In fact in both wars we look to be on the brink of an escalation cycle.

Meanwhile the global economy continues to sag, energy problems stack up, the positions of Merz and Starmer unravel, and in the UK we have had a grisly murder of a young student, which is intensifying political polarisation.

A great deal therefore to discuss.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
