No it hasn’t. Great Depression, Great Recession. One of those only happened like 20 years ago.

It’s always ended up being okay, market and economy always bounces back

Not to mention the gas crisis in the 80s.
If you’re saying eventually, like in a decade or more, we will bounce back? Sure man. Maybe. Probably.
But that’s not the same as everything being okay.

So just, casually spend 10 years out of work with no savings and finesse it

I just said my point.
If you’re saying the economy will *eventually* bounce back, then sure. You’re probably right.
But that could take ten years or more. That’s not the same as things being okay right now.

There isn’t any probably, it will bounce back we have no evidence to suggest otherwise

But there is a real possibility it does. Which is the issue here you’re working so hard to avoid.

no one is saying to give up, except you. having a conversation about an issue is the only way to figure out a solution to said issue.

Stop making your coping mechanism my problem. If you have to pretend we’re gonna bounce back immediately to not go completely insane please do not do it argumentatively online.

I don’t think being anxious and worrying is too irrational rn. Our futures can be affected and it’s worth worrying about

tbh what is your problem? people out here are worried and want to find a solution, you’re over here either living in denialism and doomerism at the same time (tf?)

I mean iran is clearly trying to overthrow the hegemony of the dollar as reserve currency by only selling to Chinese ships.
That would be pretty fuckin bad for us, man. And it could legitimately happen unless we work things out, and our leaders don’t want to.

Exactly what im saying, keep worrying and being more and more anxious

There is no solution, we must panic and make everyone else panic

There are solutions lmao, which we could be talking about.
Like America patching things up with Iran. Which isn’t inconceivable either.
But you’re more interested in building a weird parody of me rn.
