pretty looking is probably propped up by debt. Our lives here in America, and in Europe too, is all artificially based on debt. Our federal government is $19 trillion in debt, most states have sizeable debt i'm assuming, apparently most universities are in debt to, most students are in debt, basically every adult has credit card debt and in debt for cars and homes that are too big, etc. There are several bubbles that could burst soon ish. It's all Monopoly money at this point.
