minus-square@Shapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 month agoDo you think Americans tend to rack up more debt than people from other countries? If so, do you have an hypthesis as to why that would be the case? I’m curious since here (France) debt is pretty uncommon and the volumes usually way lower are than in the US (and Canada).
