> Nothing happening today is remotely as scary as what we saw in 2008 As what's happening "today" is basically a postponed and amplified version of what should

  Unemployment numbers at extreme lows as the Baby Boomers retire and millions of Americans are either dead or sick/disabled with Long-COVID19, hampering our economy with a lack of workers? I don't think today's economy is anything like the frothy housing bubble was in 2007/2008 timeframe. I think there's a possibility of a tech bubble akin to 2001, but that actually wasn't very disruptive for our economy. I see today more similar to 2001, aside from the weird supply chain issues due to a greatly diminished workforce (the Baby Boomer's retirement is the biggest challenge for this year IMO). (Of course, people have been calling a bubble in tech for decades now, but _eventually_ that damn tech bubble will pop again, lol)
