The current world rate of profit is 8%
Where do we go from here?
What happens when it gets to 3%? How about 0?
However you cut the end trail of late stage capitalism

Aggressively cut wages, find parts of the population that are easy political scapegoats and subject them to colonial conditions. Expand colonial style repression to more and more of the Metropole.

Considering that the language used was ironic, it is reasonable to assume that the graph is also ironic.

Capital can simply not invest enough into keeping itself going. We're already seeing this.
Workers don't have enough money to raise children, and so they don't. Half the world's populations are either propped up by immigrants or collapsing. It's physically impossible for Japan, for instance, to keep existing as they do now: they will simply die out because each generation is smaller than the last. Migrants are not the solution, they will simply run out as the whole world becomes the same in terms of having children.
Infrastructure is also crumbling all over the world. Or not being built properly in the first place, just look at footage of Indian cities.
The U.S. cannibalizing European industry is probably the first sign that something is wrong in a way it wasn't before. Sure, it's not out of character to exploit their "allies", but before they were doing stuff like taking the UK's good coal, not this.

Ukraine is a notorious example of not investing enough to keep itself going. Infrastructure is very old and the oligarchs don't care at all because it's not gonna be their problem. Russia is barely different. The current profit margins are already low enough for them to pull the plug.

So I've been thinking about Fed rates recently. Historically, today's rates (About 5.30%) are not that high; in fact they are the average rates for the decade between 1995-2001 and only began to fall once the Dot-Com bubble burst before. They began to climb back to these rates starting in 2005 before the crash in 2008. I think that the 2008 recession dealt a more deadly blow to capitalism than most realized. What does it say about the Free Market when it requires lower interest rates that were previously only seen right before a recession as the new normal rate?

The rate of profit can't be measured like this, and inflation doesn't exist. All we have to do is make the state print money forever, this will induce demand for goods and services, increasing employment and benefiting everybody.
