    “downward pressure on the US sovereign rating, gaps in the regulatory framework and structural uncertainty around the normalization of monetary policy.”

    “downward pressure on the US sovereign rating” – our money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

    “gaps in the regulatory framework” – some people and institutions are getting away with stuff we don’t approve of.

    “structural uncertainty around the normalization of monetary policy” – no one knows what the fuck happens next or how to avoid collapse of the dollar as the World’s Reserve Currency.

  4. “downward pressure on the US sovereign rating” – The dollar is falling against foreign currency.

    “gaps in the regulatory framework” – The Bidens have been getting away with just about everything.

    “structural uncertainty around the normalization of monetary policy” – We don’t know what the Bidens will pull next, and how much of a cut they will demand.
