by Summary:
Brian doesn't mention it here, but an implication is with meeting obligations going forward — servicing private debt, both business and household, and meeting the monthly nut for most ordinary folks.

This is of concern not only to them but to landlords that are leveraged, as well as their lenders. Obligations were undertaken based on the old normal. and it is looking like the new normal will be different, perhaps considerably.
