@jestdotty Well I have no idea. From time to time things happen. I’m too dumb to understand it but once per decade shit hits the fan.
All I have are conspiracy theories and subjective conclusions about human mindset.
For me 90% of people are NPCs. I’m not saying it’s always but for most of things people are running on autopilot programmed by someone else. -
@vane look up "conversational hypnosis" or hypnosis in general. Then watch a few news casts with open eyes.

@vane yeah COVID made markets go down and everyone thinks that was it
that was not it
inflation gets felt in like 4 years. we in for a fun time
there's also some 54 years experienced investor that thinks we about to gut borrowers and asset owners and instead make the markets good for lenders. idk if I understand but he seemed wise and been around. judging from his stories the finance people don't know what they're doing either and they invent shit every 10 years and look at it going "well it's working"
hum hum hum
but economy is about to get cornered... something will burst or someone will come up with a new scheme, probably both at once

Ohh crap
I remember when I was installing shareware in early 2000 and it always prompted me to install spyware sidebar, search bar for my web browser.
Another screen during installation was desperately trying to change my start page and adding couple of bookmarks for me so the developers got paid.
Tucows I think was the leader of those installers and I didn’t mind to get software for free and click to uncheck checkbox to not install optional crap.
At least it wasn’t a virus and viruses from 2000 were not that harmful, most of them were just annoying.
Fast forward 25 years and apparently those developers are now working directly for the web browser companies. Instead of trying to force me to install unwanted stuff it comes bundled with browser and I can’t uninstall or disable it.
And now it got me to think if history repeats itself and if technology bubble is going to pop sooner than later. All this money would be gone but I can’t find the place where it can happen and how it can happen.
But it’s going to happen for sure.
