How? Are all these people going to miraculously find the money to pay back their debts? And whilst that happens, we're going to stumble across oil on the moon? Except this will be super-oil that never runs out, and it so light it can be transported from the moon to the earth at little to no cost. One of those things happening? It's not impossible. Two of those things happening? There's an outside chance. But, THREE of those things happening, that I'd like to see!* *Adapted from a Mr. Burns quote from the episode "Homer at the Bat" (season 3). |
I repeat: we've been through far, far worse. Reconstruction, the Great Depression, Stagflation...loads of personal debts, mortgage crises, energy crises, hostilities abroad, none of this is new, and none of what we're going through now is anywhere near as severe as it was in the thirties or seventies. We survived then, we'll survive now.
Although I'm curious as to why you're so certain that things are only going to get gloomier. Not to attack you personally or anything, but what exactly is it about now that you think will bring us down?
