maybe we're in a bubble, but it's just not popping and therefor people acting like we're not in a bubble?

i can't see how this is sustainable at all

edit: why downvote an opinion?

I've read some assertions that it would have popped already if not for the federal reserve buying assets and keeping borrowing cheap, suggesting that the fed's actions are ultimately inflating it bigger and bigger.

What could pop the bubble then would be a sharp reversal of this type of policy, like a return to 1980s-level interest rates. But they have zero incentive to go that route, as far as I can see.

If it's not popping, is it a bubble?

I'm reading that as "not popping yet".

Sometimes bubbles slowly deflate rather than pop.
