In this episode, Alex maps who actually holds leverage over America’s debt — and why the chip supply chain, from TSMC’s fabs to the AI stack, is now part of the bargaining table. This is not fear. It’s a map. Watch the debt, not the stocks. ⏱ Chapters below. Data sources: FRED (DGS10), US Treasury TIC Table 5, Fed SOMA, SAFE. Educational content only.
