    As one of the oldest millennials from 1981 I’m on my fifth or sixth once in a lifetime collapse.

      Don’t forget about the prospect of the US defaulting soon which absolutely will affect the economy 😐

          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.

      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?

          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.

      I assume OP means

      Dot com crash

      Global financial crisis - sub prime mortgage crash

      Covid crash and resulting cost of living crisis

    There is no economic collapse.

    Chocolate rations have increased. There is no razor shortage. And the heroes in Israel are releasing Palestinian children from their bondage to Hamas.

    Biden told us so.
