Current value for that metric is the same as 1985, if you expand the chart.
absolutely. and now look at the inflation and fed rate of late 70s and 80s. we have not yet won the inflation war and fed has already paused the rate lowering cycle. so if we need to increase the rate higher to bring inflation down to 2%, imagine the % of debt payment as part of revenue; in 70s/early 80s, the fed rate was as high as 15% compared to 4-5% now.
To understand the scale at which we have printed money, analyze the fed balance sheet https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

Which are roughly like me having a mortgage that’s the same as my annual salary. Which is quite commonplace.
It’d be a problem if we had to pay it all off tomorrow, but we don’t.
depends on the mortgage if it is fixed or variable.
have a look at this: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-payments...
it is like borrowing at higher rate than the rate at which are are growing our income.

Are such drastic action appropriate given the current state of the US? The US probably hasn't been this economically dominant since after WWII.
Feels like Chesterton fences are getting torn up left and right by people too young and incurious to possibly understand why those fences might be there.
>The US probably hasn't been this economically dominant since after WWII.
now look at the deficits.

"All the pro-cloud talking points are just that - talking points that don't persuade anyone with any real technical understanding,"
This is false. AWS infrastructure is vastly more secure than almost all company data centers. AWS has a rule that the same person cannot have logical access and physical access to the same storage device. Very few companies have enough IT people to have this rule. The AWS KMS is vastly more secure than what almost all companies are doing. The AWS network is vastly better designed and operated than almost all corporate networks. AWS S3 is more reliable and scalable than anything almost any company could create on their own. To create something even close to it you would need to implement something like MinIO using 3 separate data centers.
one of my greatest learnings in life is to differentiate between facts and opinions- sometimes opinions are presented as facts and vice-versa. if you think about it- the statement "this is false" is a response to an opinion (presented as a fact) but not a fact. there is no way one can objectively define and defend what does "real technical understanding" means. the cloud space is vast with millions of people having varied understanding and thus opinions.
so let's not fight the battle that will never be won. there is no point in convincing pro-cloud people that cloud isn't the right choice and vice-versa. let people share stories where it made sense and where it didn't.
as someone who has lived in cloud security space since 2009 (and was founder of redlock - one of the first CSPMs), in my opinion, there is no doubt that AWS is indeed superiorly designed than most corp. networks- but is that you really need? if you run entire corp and LOB apps on aws but have poor security practices, will it be right decision? what if you have the best security engineers in the world but they are best at Cisco type of security - configuring VLANS and managing endpoints but are not good at detecting someone using IMDSv1 in ec2 exposed to the internet and running a vulnerable (to csrf) app?
when the scope of discussion is as vast as cloud vs on-prem, imo, it is a bad idea to make absolute statements.

Why bother? It's already harvested.
just in case; I don't want to make it worse.

Whenever time permits, I have a (bad) habit of viewing source code of new website. In this case, I found this on this website: (haven't read the js yet to see what's the true intent but surely a sign of horrible engineering)
edit- seems like remix customizations.
