Didn’t you used to be a libertarian?

Still am. Just not one of the 99% who became anime nazis. The kind that thinks property is theft not just taxation.

Kind of reminds me of dot com era when we were almost at 12k on Dow Jones and it was being touted, then the market crashed and it didn’t cross 12k for like ten years.

*numbers are rough estimates from a slowly deteriorating memory.

The NASDAQ didn’t hit its 2000 high until 2015.

The more I think about how this is going to have to play out…am I crazy to think this could be a watershed moment when it comes to increasing class consciousness?

I wasn’t sure what thread this should go in but it’s been on my mind a lot

I subscribe to the Matt Christman theory that Obama letting all the bad actors of the financial crisis off the hook, and in fact showering them with free money, while doing absolutely nothing for ordinary people, completely crushed the will of multiple generations to believe politics will ever produce desirable, just outcomes.

This will be a transformative event for all of us that are living through it. This is the first crisis many of us have been in that affects literally everyone, like a war.

There is of course a lot of justifiable anxiety, and the worst is yet to come. But there may be shifts is social attitudes coming out the other side, with lots of potential for silver linings.

More money!

I was thinking about this and I am hopefully this event can shape the future behavior of our youngest generations in a positive way.

You are right, many of us have not experienced something so all encompassing.

Basically, this press conference exists to bump the stock market again, right?

Trump, like most Americans and probably like most people in Congress, won’t get past the title of whatever bill he signs that was written by lobbyists/industry.
