This is worse than 2008 and I remember back then I was let go and the other guy was not and we sorta debated which would be worse off. This is way worse though. I would say at least twice as bad at this point. Funny thing was no one realized the trouble we were in in 2008 it was really like 2010 by the time it was really felt. On hindsite they are going to be talking about the collapse in 2025.

I'm not an economist, so I don't know shit about fuck (though most economists don't either tbf), but some people are comparing this to the railway bubble. Shit's (potentially) so bad that they don't even have a comparison from within our lifetimes to point to.
