You know, from having lived through the 80s and several crashes in between I'd say what sucks today isn't the financial/jobs markets or economy but rather the people and how terrible we've become politically divisive. That's what I see. That 20% market drop from high just seems to be a correction and it was needed because that market high was based on crazy stuff anyway. But that 20% didn't do jack to 99% of the country. We didn't win when it went up, but inversely, we haven't really lost on its way down. Sure, inflation sucks but if you ask me - stalling our insatiable appetite to consume is probably a good thing.
