As you can see, I highlighted the meat of the article: Increasing monthly balances, increasing delinquencies both as a percentage.That is exactly the "shock" headline that I was talking about. It sounds so scary to "top $1 trillion for the first time ever", but it means absolutely nothing if you don't take into account inflation and population growth. And the huge percentage jumps mentioned in your clip are based off of the artificial lows during the pandemic.
I would take that article with a huge grain of salt -- it is just meant to get hits.
