This is a silly article. No-one is being forced to lend to the Govt at the shortest maturities.
Longer term govt bills and bonds have positive interest rates. Private borrowers are all paying rates higher than zero.
Inflation is actually down year over year, so a lender even at zero interest rates gets a tax free increase in purchasing power.
Are you sure you’re posting that on the right forum?

Good points that the article neglected.
But what about the larger point that the Fed has skewed the pricing of interest rates in favor of the borrower, at the expense of the saver?
