    Sounds like capitalism is the problem. Boom and bust cycles are terrible for working people and great for billionaires.

      100% it’s why I mentioned Capitalism requiring feeding. It’s like when people say “I can’t wait for the next housing collapse so I can afford a home.” While forgetting the part of housing collapsed where the average worker can’t afford a house and often all that happens is the millionaire and billionaire class swoops in and buys up all the property. 08 wasn’t famous for making more average Americans able to afford a house. It made it so companies like Blackstone could go around and feast for cheap.
