Assuming the finance a pizza bit is true, it's a sign that the American economy is on the brink of a deflationary spiral. Debt is being created, but at some point, it will not be paid back in sufficient amounts, and then the capital to create more debt will dry up, resulting in the amount of money in the economy drying up as well. Businesses will be forced to lower prices and scale back operations, which will result in rising unemployment. Which in turn will result in even less money in the economy, perpetuating the circle.

at this point an economic crash seems like the only possible future, but I'm not sure if it would be good for your average person or if the top 1% would take advantage of it to get even richer

Most of the world is already in an economic recession in the sense that median purchasing power of is dropping fast.
However economist are great at fudging the numbers to show "gdp growth". It true, absolute gdp is rising but it doesn't mean anything if it's evenly distributed.

Alright I am done for it, gotta quickly think of something to hoard so that I can make some profit afterwards

I think if you reflect a little, you know the answer really. Take a look at what happened during the pandemic

Although the 1% is really the 0.1%. So it's much, much worse.

Thats the nature of an economy where most currency circulating is actually just debt.

Okay this is disgusting. It's only gonna make people's money problems worse. If you can't pay for a domino's pizza out of the pocket, maybe it's a better idea to go for something cheaper like a freezer pizza from the supermarket. Most people picking this option will be making a mistake.

For real though, you were born just in time to download the gateway tapes and explore the inner depths of your own consciousness.
