As one of the oldest millennials from 1981 I’m on my fifth or sixth once in a lifetime collapse.

I’m hoping after I get to my tenth I get one for free.

Tell me again about the time before tv remotes uncle.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

I had a younger sibling so I always had a remote

Don't forget about the prospect of the US defaulting soon which absolutely will affect the economy 😐

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man imagine if the US actually defaults that shit would be fucking wild

[–] TheHog@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago

Don't worry they'll never default, as they keep printing more money (they should have defaulted decades age, but keep rasing the borrowing ceiling). But they will go through hyper inflation soon enough... That will be wild.

Wont you just raise the imaginary number. Again.

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago

Bold of you to assume they taught me to count.

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While the Dot Com and 9/11 were during our lifetimes, they weren't our adult lives. Maybe 9/11 for very old millennials in some definitions?

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Was a teen, but I was old enough to recall fully what happened, at least for 9/11

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But did it effect you as a worker/investor?

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Not sure if sarcastic or not.

The dotcom crash indirectly allowed Google to take over the web and end the search engine competition.

9/11 It affected my parents and the ability to cross the border without passports. It affected the US zeitgeist in a massively negative way.

we gen Xers just grew up expecting Nuclear Winter, and we're still waiting

I'm hoping Futurama was right and it cancels out global warming

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would like the housing market to collapse, if you're taking requests

Paul Rudd is an inspiration

1973 market collapse, followed by years of zero growth, Oil embargo, 17% home mortgage rates, Savings and Loan collapse, Black Monday and Friday the 13th crashes. There never was a β€œonce in a lifetime” event limit.

I assume OP means

Dot com crash

Global financial crisis - sub prime mortgage crash

Covid crash and resulting cost of living crisis
