    Guessing you have no idea what the Great Depression was like. My parents grew up in it.

    Great Depression: 30% unemployment

    2008 crisis: 4.2% economic contraction

    If you think modern America is bad now, boy oh boy, you’re about to get an education on how bad it can really get.

      Ok? And this is relevant how? I’m Canadian, so pretty tied to the US’s bullshit at the moment, but damn where’s this US bravery I keep hearing so much about?
