Hard times are likely ahead for a lot of people. Mind your expenses and plan to save where possible just in case. Apologies for having a doomer outlook; I’m very cynical about capitalism, especially in the USA.

      Nah, it’s a repost from late 2007.

      Sorry, I mean a repeat of late 2007, the fourth or fifth “once in a lifetime economic crisis” for millennials that will somehow magically end with billionaires owning an even larger percentage of the GDP.

      “How could this possibly happen, again, again, again, again,” will cry the economists billionaire simps.

      Isn’t this just going to be “great recession 2 office building bugaloo?”

      Part 1 was the great recession caused by sub prime loaning assholes and combined debt packages.

      Similar story different players apparently…
