Don't forget about the prospect of the US defaulting soon which absolutely will affect the economy 😐

Man imagine if the US actually defaults that shit would be fucking wild

Don't worry they'll never default, as they keep printing more money (they should have defaulted decades age, but keep rasing the borrowing ceiling). But they will go through hyper inflation soon enough... That will be wild.

Bold of you to assume they taught me to count.

While the Dot Com and 9/11 were during our lifetimes, they weren't our adult lives. Maybe 9/11 for very old millennials in some definitions?

Was a teen, but I was old enough to recall fully what happened, at least for 9/11

But did it effect you as a worker/investor?

parent

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Not sure if sarcastic or not.

The dotcom crash indirectly allowed Google to take over the web and end the search engine competition.

9/11 It affected my parents and the ability to cross the border without passports. It affected the US zeitgeist in a massively negative way.

1973 market collapse, followed by years of zero growth, Oil embargo, 17% home mortgage rates, Savings and Loan collapse, Black Monday and Friday the 13th crashes. There never was a “once in a lifetime” event limit.

What's the third?

[–] Kayel@aussie.zone 14 points 2 years ago*

I assume OP means

Dot com crash

Global financial crisis - sub prime mortgage crash

Covid crash and resulting cost of living crisis

There is no economic collapse.

Chocolate rations have increased. There is no razor shortage. And the heroes in Israel are releasing Palestinian children from their bondage to Hamas.

Biden told us so.
