>I hope I don’t sound too selfish but I am a USA citizen

The rest of the world is getting tired of worrying about the US's economical situation, whether it the dotcom bubble, the sub-primes, or now the potential AI bubble.

So apologies for being blunt here, but yes it does sound selfish to me

Yes, I do sound like a jerk. Difficult though to not worry about local bullshit a lot more than other country’s bullshit. While I care for every person on our planet, I spend more time thinking about the future of my children and grandchildren.

As a Canadian, I disagree, don’t think you sound like a jerk with this comment. Makes sense to worry about local problems more than remote ones IMO. Of course I’d be more concerned about my own country’s interest rates than that of a foreign country.
