Yeah, that's mad unfortunate. You graduate from college in '07, thinking you have the whole world in front of you, then—bam! You're out of work, and it takes you 3-5 years to dig yourself out of that hole, and another 2-3 to achieve what you should have when you were 23 or 24.

Now, you're 30+ with a kid and a wife, and a dude who's running the country exactly how a Russia-sanctioned politician would if his goal were to destroy the country from within( :francis: )leads you into the worst financial catastrophe in almost 100 years. This time, you're pretty much guaranteed to be fúcked for at least a decade. There isn't a world war and FDR to save your ass this time, and the former would likely result in your death anyways, so you don't want that.
Don't forget 9/11 went down during people's high school, middle school, freshman in college years :francis:

:jbhmm: So, I was watching Yvette Carnell and she was explaining how Woodrow Wilson told bp he would be fair, got their votes, and turned around a re-segregated everything. As she was talking, I realized that this country has cycles.

We fight for freedom around the middle of the century (the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement) and fight to knock back the process in the 20's (1820's- black codes implemented on free persons of color, 1920's- Red Summer and Black/ white suffragette peak beef that led to the passage of the 19th amendment while bw still couldn't vote, and obv, 2020's- Trump).

Still nowhere near as bad as 2011/2012. Worst period ever.
Yet. The operative word is yet. This country is sitting on top of a gigantic credit bubble. Not only people, but companies and the U.S government itself. You can already see the layoffs and the growing defaults of home loans, credit cards, auto loans and student loans. Commercial real state loans are also on the verge of failing, because occupancy rates fell off due to Covid and a large number of tenants never returned.
