49. It has never happened yet! But consider the similarities to 1929.

We have economic problems...job losses. The market is divorce from the economy in many ways. But almost everyone is involved in the market-not just the rich. There is no real value in the market of today.

We have tariffs...Hoover was a big tariff guy. The banks are shaky...and we have burned crops rather than sell them...we have unrest. Did you know that Hoover called out the Army to attack American citizens who had served in the WWI and wanted their bonus money.
If we don't manage to keep snap benefits, we will see starving people lining up for food. We have already had some of that.

We came damn close in 2008 to a depression. Obama saved us. He was smart and guided us back to safety. Now we have Trump...the most stupid, corrupt, idiotic president in my life maybe ever. We are so screwed. The dominos are in place. Time will tell if we manage to stop this monster.

I basicly agree with your post but add that 2.7 pct is dramatic (though not a crash). And tRump's tantrum sparked it. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #45

He's periodically crashing the stock market on purpose to hurt the middle class & enrich the already rich. lark Oct 2025 #40
Instead, I think he is profoundly incompetent, but there may be people using inside knowledge Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #46
He has stated previously that stock market crashes are wonderful for the rich. lark Oct 2025 #47
