Quote from: RE on Jan 17, 2026, 06:42 PMBear Stearns collapsed in March 2008, so not all of the new millenium. 17 years 10 months.
Oh please. Such a 21st century perspective. Try The Panic of 1907 instead. And yet the 20th century ended up becoming The American Century....the exact opposite of your attempt to use some small economic event as proof of anything.
You are intelligent, the idea that you use Bear Stearns means even are reaching to try and find much in the way of examples for the horrors of the "current" ongoing "collapse"...your definition...not mine.

Yes, you have said it is in progress. But if Bear Stearns is your starting gun, I picked a better one for the idea, and here we are....119 years later after my better example. Apparently even larger bad economic events don't cause collapse and you want to pretend a little local one will? Or worse yet....IS? Come on.
