In the US, there's significant unrest brewing about the status of loans.

BlackRock has lost a loan worth billions. The company they lent to turned out
to have only $100,000 in cash. The billions BlackRock lent were lost in the
company's bankruptcy.

But this is just one loan.

Billions lost on one loan... How many more loans will follow, because,
especially at the local level, things aren't going well in the US. US economic
growth comes from AI investments. The real economy is weak.

If you were to remove AI investments, the US would be in a severe recession.

Local businesses are in recession. So banks, pension funds, and hedge funds
are going to feel the pinch.
