>Countries with dollar pegs BTFO
>Profits become absolute shit for any company within a mile of exports
>Suddenly sane mortgage rates trigger gigantic housing crash
>Overseas speculators, corrupt oligarchs, and Chinese fleeing capital controls who bought up all our good housing BTFO
>Combined with sudden deflation, everything now 2% off
>Giant economic crash drives the 10 year from 1.5% to -1.5% overnight

>Newly issued student loans jump 5%, finally warding people away from meme degrees
>At least half the Fed presidents resign in horror at Yellen's batshit crazy rate hike stunt
