Don't forget about the prospect of the US defaulting soon which absolutely will affect the economy ๐Ÿ˜

Man imagine if the US actually defaults that shit would be fucking wild

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Don't worry they'll never default, as they keep printing more money (they should have defaulted decades age, but keep rasing the borrowing ceiling). But they will go through hyper inflation soon enough... That will be wild.

Wont you just raise the imaginary number. Again.

Bold of you to assume they taught me to count.

While the Dot Com and 9/11 were during our lifetimes, they weren't our adult lives. Maybe 9/11 for very old millennials in some definitions?

Was a teen, but I was old enough to recall fully what happened, at least for 9/11

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But did it effect you as a worker/investor?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not sure if sarcastic or not.

The dotcom crash indirectly allowed Google to take over the web and end the search engine competition.

9/11 It affected my parents and the ability to cross the border without passports. It affected the US zeitgeist in a massively negative way.
