Oh, it’ll come … it’s always “different this time” until it’s not. COVID-19 is just an excuse or a catalyst for a long-overdue shitshow. Remember the 90s, with the “end of history?” Then came the 2000 dot.BOMB crash, and life was fun again.
I don’t want to HAVE to invest or take risks. I hope that we get national healthcare, etc, in the next 5-10 years so I can lead the rest of my life in comfortable mediocrity, working 30 hours a week, without having to strive, scrimp, or stress, just being comfortable, safe, and protected. That’s my goal: safe, comfy mediocrity, and a crisis that flips the 2020 election blue is the best hope of achieving that.
The goal isn’t even investment anymore, just getting a country where I can live in comfort without trying too hard or competing.
