Winners
Bureaucrats – As covid related regulations and rules proliferate with vaccine status, they gain more power over all daily interactions.
Japan – A smooth Olympics spotlighting their well run nation might become even more memorable when compared to Paris ‘24 and LA ‘28.

Small Business Owners – Firms prepare for a return to partial lockdowns or total lockdowns depending on the state.
Small Landlords – Blackrock type investors are safe but small landlords are dealing with eviction moratoriums that may slowly end while landlords bleed money.

One thing I noticed about the college debt article is that it included every relevant fact about college loan repayment *except* it’s duration. If ex-students are paying 5.5% of income today, but they were paying 8% some years back, well, it matters a great deal how long they’re paying. I suspect that it’s longer now, and that’s money that could, under different circumstances, build wealth. *That’s* the crisis: not that young people aren’t able to make their payments, but that making the payments prevents them from building the wealth that could propel them into, or even above, the middle class.
