Kind of hard to imagine we aren’t in depression already. 25 million people lost their jobs in the last 4 weeks. That’s just the number of folks who qualify for the insurance programs. There are more than likely equal numbers or more who are contractors or otherwise fall through the cracks.
I didn’t ask the question or make the initial post for myself, it was a category question, though Coronita did offer several helpful ripostes once he got done with his moralizing.
Sour grapes, fuck yes! There are a few people still on this blog who were here throughout the bubble (myself included) and it’s implosion. People who spent years preparing and not being dipshits, only to watch the Fed steal from them at the point of an Excel spreadsheet. People who thought we had a body of law to deal with fraud only to find out it’s only fraud when it’s not the wealthy doing it. The only person who went to jail was Martha Stewart. If you’re not angry, you just aren’t paying attention.
This bubble, much like the last is nothing more than fancy math to cover inter generational warfare. I’m Gen X and I literally weep for what the Boomers have done to the Millenials and done with a straight face.
All that having been said, we’re being dealt a certain hand of cards and I asked, what can I do to maximize my security given the current circumstances. Save your morality plays for those who haven’t already seen what those in power will do to preserve their place.
