Nominal $100 at -0.5% rate on 10yr note is barely 5% ie $95.
Banks will still take retail fees, require insurance (someone else)
to "pay them back" (80-90% of their outlay is fake fractional reserve
lending anyway), will still repo the house (real asset) for remaining
unpaid, and flip it out to the market for someone else's cash in full.

Then there's long bonds and treasuries... the great everything
rollup. If the already inverted yield curves at lender (debtor) of last
resort trend to and stay in negative territory, then its over. And you get
a whole lot of government land, buildings, computers, satcom,
secret tech, cars, boats, planes, and politicians as slaves... for free :)

Till then it's survival of the fittest... maybe governments try
shift spending choices off on private sector to cut their debt.
But govts are fat greedy bastards so surplus never last.
If you're lucky their obese selves will just drop dead
before they even make it to the stair climber.

You cannot spend what you do not have.
Governments do not produce anything thus cannot
give future production promises bond of themselves.
Everything they "have" is stolen from you, at gunpoint.
Like free Facebook, you are what's promised and sold.
Pretty sick eh?

You'd be better off buying what you need, including
roads, directly, yourself, efficiently on the open market,
locally, together, including giving charity. And not what
you don't need... like government, which history
guarantees will always fuck things up.

Staple business, real / hard assets,
relative gains and holds in markets,
will always exist out there for those
who search for, move among, and ride them.

In addition to debt issues, some heads
think economy turndown will make negative
bond yields look even better than that.

And banks sometimes survive governments.

As they say... times be getting weird :)

As with every currency in history formerly backed by gold,
eventually most governments will break backing on these too,
they simply can't resist breaking their Fiat shitcoins...
