America never really experienced hardship since the Great Depression. That was almost a hundred years ago. The generation that remembered it are almost all dead. Baby Boomers all they know is prosperity,same with Gen Xers, Millennials and Gen Z. Yeah we’ve experienced recessions but nothing of mass collective suffering. Anything that tries to shatter our bubble of western prosperity ha everyone start freaking out. I do not think American society can handle an economic depression or mass natural disaster etc. If people are losing their shyt for this and hoarding toilet paper God forbid if the electrical grid is down for months across this country:hubie:

Hurricane Katrina already showed us what it is...the failures....outright murderous societal collapse has all but been banned from pop culture discourse

And in regards to your great depression comment...kinda yea kinda no...id say , due to propaganda, black hardship of the 20th century leading up to and even through the conclusion of the civil rights movement isn't really understood.

It goes well beyond violence and economic social apartheid/segregation ...when we get into their health situations..their housing situations...employment situation...state access..so on and so forth...its like were talkin about a completely different so called "3rd world" country.

We've grown to over emphasize and over exaggerate the "succesful" enclaves of black life of yesteryear, and speak as if they were standards of some sort, when they weren't.

So this guy did have asthma, but was an amateur competitive cyclist so he was in pretty good shape form what I know. Again, this was a friend of a friend so not someone that I know personally, but that's close.....
I have asthma too

I’m staying inside or my car or a short trek to get groceries or carry out

Thankfully I got gym equipment here
