Can analysis of bufferbloat help us understand the current state of the US/global economy? (Money = buffered economic value; too much liquidity = bufferbloat?)

(Money = buffered economic value; too much liquidity = bufferbloat?)
- neffy 5y agoIt's not a bad idea per se, but no. The actual issue is too much debt, alongside too concentrated money. The issue at some level is some buffers are far too big, and 70% of the US population doesn't have any buffers at all.
- pphysch 5y agoI agree that debt is the underlying issue, but if we consider that the Fed's only solution to the "network issues" is to "increase the buffer sizes across the backbone" then perhaps "bufferbloat" is contributing to some of the supply chain issues.
