Default isn't even on the table...both McCarthy and Biden have both said that

Its just a matter of what deal is made and when

This is a fake crisis! The market freaks out and sells into the fear, then buys on the solution

Meanwhile, institutions do the opposite - they buy into the fear and sell on the solution

Its all engineered once every two years or so to make a fake buying opportunity

Frankly for most people reading HN, you would be better off if there was a true legit crisis, it might actually set in motion legit change that would allow you to buy into the system on better terms
