Shadowman311's Manic Musings

Whether the stock market crashes tomorrow or at some point in the indeterminant future, we are all going to be very equal, some more equal than others.

Back in 2019 we were arguing about spending bills, speeches and ballots, now 4 years later everyone is debating on the battle lines of WW3, the viability of the mass recruitment of Mexicans into the US Army, and exactly when, and by how much the stock market will crash. "Nothing Ever Happens" only works if you look at a very narrow portion of recent history. Things have happened, they are happening, and will continue to happen. Look around you, things are changing, though whether those changes will ultimately end up being good or bad is still up in the air

I'm not going to make any definitive predictions either way for what's going to happen tomorrow, yes we are well overdue for an economic recession/depression (and have been since before the Trump administration) and yes the 16th largest bank in the US (along with a few others) just collapsed overnight but I get the feeling that when said depression/recession happens no one's going to see it coming and seeing "bank run" trending on Twitter just doesn't fill me with confidence of this having any real legs to it. Though who knows, I could be wrong, I've never lived through the begining of a depression. And I was a child when the recession happened, maybe I'm just inexperienced.
