Sure, times are tough across America—no argument there. But here's what's interesting: the way people obsess over America's pain points might actually be a mirror reflecting something deeper. What if this fixation tells us more about underlying economic pressures closer to home? When investors zoom in on external struggles, sometimes it's because they're nervous about what's happening in their own backyard. Worth thinking about.

You're right, worrying about the broken house next door while your own house is leaking is indeed a sign of guilt.

It's all rolled up, everyone is watching the US, while their own projects at home are also left unfinished.

Come on, honestly, it's just that they have too many messy issues of their own and need to find a place to divert attention.

nah, this is just cope. people obsess over us macro because it actually affects their bags, not some psychological mirror bullshit. technically speaking, correlation ≠ causation here—investors track external vectors because market mechanics demand it, not feelings. tbh the "look inward" framing is the real distraction.
