    A long time ago during the dirty 30s, my great granny and the other indigenous people where they lived actually remembered it all fondly. Nothing changed for them but not a bunch of white people were poor, more solidarity (this is what I was told). Apparently there’s similar feelings in parts of America where they were already poor but no so is everyone else

      I know a person with pretty bad agoraphobia, and the lock downs from their perspective was basically just a couple of months where nobody judged them.

    In the short term the economy crashing will be good for me, because it means the AI bubble will probably have popped and I already have some money put aside to hoover up cheap PC parts just in case.

    In the medium to long term it means I will likely have a sweet gaming PC that I will carry around on my back through the Mad Max style wasteland, but for a month or two inbetween it’s going to be sweet.
