Isn't that just because corporate bond issuance is at a all time high?

Which of course is a valid point to raise, but you should just say "corporate bond issuance is at a all time high", rather than some clickbait headline about how "Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt" and it's "out of scale to anything we've thought about, ever."

It's not a clickbait headline. It's a direct quote.

And the key point of it is not "larger than ever" but "out of scale"?

I'm chastising the author of the article, for the "Banks are now trying to offload..." framing, not the commenter. Hopefully the fact that I was commenting about the headline made this clear.

>And the key point of it is not "larger than ever" but "out of scale"?

Isn't that "larger than ever" but with more exclamation points?

"Out of scale" when it is a risk management firm chap saying it, sounds like a polite way to say "abnormal" without scaring the straights.

(At least is the way I read it: not just large but abnormal in context)
