Assuming the finance a pizza bit is true, it's a sign that the American economy is on the brink of a deflationary spiral. Debt is being created, but at some point, it will not be paid back in sufficient amounts, and then the capital to create more debt will dry up, resulting in the amount of money in the economy drying up as well. Businesses will be forced to lower prices and scale back operations, which will result in rising unemployment. Which in turn will result in even less money in the economy, perpetuating the circle.

For real though, you were born just in time to download the gateway tapes and explore the inner depths of your own consciousness.
Still not as messed up as paying for groceries in installments...
