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.

The economy bounced back after both of those by the way, im not sure what your point is

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

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 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.

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.
