Iβm hoping after I get to my tenth I get one for free.
Tell me again about the time before tv remotes uncle.
I had a younger sibling so I always had a remote
Dot com crash.
9/11
Subprime mortgage crash
Trump and Iran almost start WW3
Covid.
Oh-god-interest-rates-are-a-thing crash. (Current)
Israel and Russia seem to be dead set on WW3. (Current)
Three?
Don't forget about the prospect of the US defaulting soon which absolutely will affect the economy π
Man imagine if the US actually defaults that shit would be fucking wild
Don't worry they'll never default, as they keep printing more money (they should have defaulted decades age, but keep rasing the borrowing ceiling). But they will go through hyper inflation soon enough... That will be wild.
Wont you just raise the imaginary number. Again.
Bold of you to assume they taught me to count.
While the Dot Com and 9/11 were during our lifetimes, they weren't our adult lives. Maybe 9/11 for very old millennials in some definitions?
Was a teen, but I was old enough to recall fully what happened, at least for 9/11
But did it effect you as a worker/investor?
Not sure if sarcastic or not.
The dotcom crash indirectly allowed Google to take over the web and end the search engine competition.
9/11 It affected my parents and the ability to cross the border without passports. It affected the US zeitgeist in a massively negative way.
Look at us.
Who would have thought?
drinks heavily in gen x
we gen Xers just grew up expecting Nuclear Winter, and we're still waiting
I'm hoping Futurama was right and it cancels out global warming
I would like the housing market to collapse, if you're taking requests
China: hold my beer
Paul Rudd is an inspiration
Kick up the 4d3d3
Add Sequence: OYSTER
I'm ok
1973 market collapse, followed by years of zero growth, Oil embargo, 17% home mortgage rates, Savings and Loan collapse, Black Monday and Friday the 13th crashes. There never was a βonce in a lifetimeβ event limit.
What's the third?
I assume OP means
Dot com crash
Global financial crisis - sub prime mortgage crash
Covid crash and resulting cost of living crisis
