Why High Interest Rates Are Reshaping American Business — Buffett's Long-Term View
For over a decade, American businesses operated in a world of near-zero interest rates. Cheap money fueled speculation, inflated valuations, and rewarded reckless debt. But that era is over. The Federal Reserve has raised rates to levels not seen in decades, and the consequences are fundamentally reshaping American capitalism. In this video, I explain why Warren Buffett saw this coming, how high rates are separating sustainable businesses from financial engineering schemes, and what this means for the future of corporate America.

In this video, I break down:
✅ Why the zero-rate era created a fantasy economy built on cheap debt and speculation
✅ How Buffett positioned Berkshire Hathaway for exactly this moment by holding cash
✅ What high interest rates actually do: they expose which businesses have real earnings vs. financial tricks
✅ Why zombie companies that survived on cheap refinancing are now collapsing
✅ How rising rates benefit certain businesses while destroying others—and who wins
✅ What this means for working people: higher mortgage costs, credit card debt spiraling, but also potential for productive investment to return
✅ Why Buffett's long-term view rejects short-term financial engineering in favor of businesses that generate real cash flow

This isn't about worship of billionaires or pretending Buffett is some working-class hero. He's a capitalist who's gotten extraordinarily wealthy by understanding how the system works. But his approach reveals something important: high interest rates force a reckoning. They punish companies that relied on financial gimmicks and reward those with actual productive capacity. The problem is that working people pay the price during the transition—through job losses, through unaffordable housing, through mounting personal debt—while capital reorganizes itself for the next phase of extraction.
