I remember the 2001-2008 “looming financial crisis” that was repeated so often, the wish came true. Even when we had full employment after a terrorist attack shut down the nation, quite literally.
In 2008-2016 I heard nothing about anything looming other than some type of non-“recovery”, even though homelessness was rampant, empty housing, and even those fast food restaurants were shuttered.
In 2016-2024 all I hear is the “looming financial crisis”….
Luckily, I do not see people being convinced this time around like it did last time. I cannot handle another “recovery” until I’ve had a chance to recover from it at least.
