Default Us subprime auto loans looking shaky

https://palisade-research.com/subprime-chaos/

Good article that mentions US used car prices falling, subprime auto loans in record default levels. Mentions a bit of Austrian economics - if you pump cheap credit and then take away access to said cheap credit, things will end in tears.

What do you expect when lenders give out money without having to verify if borrowers can actually afford the repayments. It's a recipe for disaster...

Good eye opening read, a big bubble bath (financial crash) is perhaps on the horizon or is the link fake news to some lol?

Just like the Pondsy Loans, that lead to the GFC.
