People are increasingly taking out loans to buy groceries. Nobody does that if they have a better choice.

You demand citations for this, something that has been extensively covered in the news, but also throw around arguments like "absolutely inflated but it’s definitely real value" and "we’re way past the point of tech bubbles popping". Who is cringe here?

Americans are not all people. Its a single country that still buys out all Nintendo switches and cyrbertrucks - so maybe if americans had budgeting classes they wouldn't take payday loans for twinkies? The conjecture here is just mind bogglingly stupid.

America has bought out cybertrucks? Nope, not even close. Dunno about switches, but since I've recently seen them on shelves, guessing those haven't been bought out either though.

No, I guess I don't, what did you mean by America has bought out cybertrucks, other than what the words mean?
