>The market will pick back up again… it always does.

It will, but this time it's probably going to be several years. It's the covid lock down train wreck. Most people underestimate the cascading damage done by the lock downs.



Yup. The damage caused by that nonsense will haunt us for decades to come.

“It’s what everybody wanted” is something I often say. “Everybody was cheering this on”.

Spot on. I read that somewhere that during WWII when people were sent to the gas chambers, crowds would be cheering on. Common people terrify me.

Citation needed. The execution of Jews by gas chamber during the holocaust was not a public event.


It's when there were being rounded up to be sent. Not during the event itself.


Cheering on deportation.. I wonder what modern parallels we can draw from that.
