    I think it’s meant to play with your expectations. Normally someone’s take being posted is to show them being confidently stupid, otherwise it isn’t as interesting and doesn’t go viral.However, because we’re primed to view it from that lens, we feel crazy to think we’re doing the math correctly and getting the “wrong answer” from what we assume is the “confident dipshit”.

    There’s layers beyond the superficial.

    The majority of this debt is owed within the US to things like state/local governments, the fed, and banks.

    The government can print more money whenever it wants. It’s like a game developer being indebted to trillions of their in game currency. You can hand-wring about inflation or whatever but the point is that you can’t default on it.

    TFA was just a lazy copy/paste of A New Hope, of course it’s going to be at least decent. It annoyed me immensely for that fact though.

    Also people give The Last Jedi way more hate than it deserves. It had interesting themes and the plot wasn’t totally predictable. It’s easily my favorite of the three.

    Rise of Skywalker was dogshit for sure though.
