Last year, affected by the epidemic, global debt increased by 24 trillion US dollars, reaching a record 281 trillion US dollars. At the same time, the ratio of global debt to GDP is more than 355%. These data also set a new global debt record released by IIF in January this year. The government is the main "debtor", accounting for more than half of the increased debt.

No kidding. Prices go up to compensate and thousands upon thousands of people remain unemployed. Some of whom, have an opportunity to work, but chose not to because the government made unemployment so appealing.
