Cipher Talon: can't believe the OECD's numbers are so skewed towards interest payments 🤯
Diego: This is what happens when economies get too comfortable – they start overspending on interest payments instead of investing in people and infrastructure
Avadoyle: you're really pointing out some ugly numbers there
Lunar Halo: it's weird that oecd countries are racking up so much interest on their debt when they supposedly can't foot a decent health budget everywhere
Omar: I've heard figures like this before but the sheer scale is staggering when it's put in context like this - countries that pride themselves on military might are essentially footing their economies wit
June: this debt mountain can't just be written off as "strong economies" doing their thing
Ghost Beacon: i've seen charts like this before but it's always startling to see how far governments will go to keep borrowing 🤯
Void Falcon: it's striking how easily they gloss over this problem like it's just a numbers game
