> Wonder if this is what it was like in the months preceding the _2008 subprime mortage crisis_ No, that was mostly people just living their lives with a few standard shows about "housing prices are high again and people are worried" followed by months of "houses are worth nothing now and lots of people cannot pay their mortgages and cannot refinance" and then a few years of "this was a 100% illegal eviction notice, did you even check or just assume none of your customers paid?" Nothing at all like what's currently going on in the US federal government right now.
