No, you misunderstood. You see, the crisis lasts your entire generation
it’s all the same crisis baybay! the entire time throughout all of history
<astronaut meme>
Wait, it’s all a crisis?
Always has been.
Exactly. It isn’t a “once in a generation crisis” it’s a “one generation” crisis. OP must have skimmed over their orientation papers and misread.
Oh it’s certainly not one generation
You’re expecting there to be more generations in the future?
Those darn millennials!
Such rascals.Muh’fuckin’ avocado toast smh
We were born during the savings and loan crisis too. Just after the gas crisis and stagflation of the 70s.
The boom bust cycle is a feature of how we do capitalism in the US. It is related to an unsustainable growth mindset.
Hey… if it follows number pattern… the next stage in the crisis should be about ten years away… so that’s cool right?
Maybe “the 2038 problem” will be the new Y2K?!
The 2038 problem is going to be +3C global warming, ensuing wet bulb temperatures and mass starvation due to breadbasket failures. (debbie downer sound)
I dont mean to turn this into one of those arguments where fight over whether they are a millienial or gen-xer… But I do recall recentley seeing someone in that age range, posting a message
“Born just in time to see the end of the fuck around days, and entered adulthood just in time to live the rest of my life in the find out time”
Weak men created hard times. Thanks, boomers.
It’s just that easy to accept the cycle, eh?
There’s no war but the class war, everything else is propaganda to distract us from the real criminals.
True, but most of the oppressors are boomers.
Isn’t it interesting that every single Republican in office during that time had 2 each?
2012 (kinda continuation of 2008) is missing
🎶UH OH UH OH, EVACUATE THE TRADE FLOOR UH OH UH OH IT’S INFECTED BY THE CLOWN UH OH UH OH STOP THESE TARIFFS ARE KILLING ME HEY MR ORANGE MAN FUCK OFF AND DIE🎵

Also fuck the stock market anyway
I was just thinking about this today when I was out for a run.
It’s similar to how we keep getting record temperatures year on year.
I think something isn’t working as intended
The system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as intended.
Nobody born after 1985 has ever experienced ‘average temperatures’.
This was a news article from 2015. Since then nearly every year has set a record for being the warmest ever recorded.
We’ve had a decade of pumping more money into the money machine while our ecology falls apart around us.
Meanwhile oil demand keeps growing. That’s what gets me.
Side rant: I fucking hate the phrase “unseasonably warm/cold”.
We haven’t had a normal season in decades, maybe we should just admit we broke the seasons instead of tiptoeing around it.
its snowing in my part of canada, it snowed last night, it snowed 2 days last week. time of posting, its april
my boss said “we’re kidding ourselves if we think this isnt normal”
he’s been right on that for the last 2 decades almost
Technology has sped up everything about society, for better and for worse.
The problem is that the “for worse” parts are now back to back existential crises.

Limits to planetary growth
i’d chime in with a “havent you people ever heard of class consciousness”
its much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I don’t remember a once-in-a-generation economic crisis in 2002… I remember the dotcom bust and my dad watching his retirement evaporate in 2000…
They’re probably referring to this:
Also 2016, that was a big one.
