That's fine as long as people can afford to pay you. But when they can't you are screwed. If things go all micro collapse people's wallets usually close and they don't spend money.Buddy, I'm so glad right now. All my efforts in high school were for this moment. You can't fuck me over in a crash. I can charge people for my services ON TOP of my job, all I need is a little garage box like this guy and basically I can repair anything a neighbor can throw at me:

This little 211i is on my list of things to save for rn. A money maker that can make back its cost with a few jobs, or I just start building stuff, tables, chairs, cabinets, and start selling it. Laugh at me now tech bros.
That was just a bubble popping. A typical fleecing of America that they started in the 80's. Banks didn't fail when the dotcom bobble popped or any of the other times stuff like that happened. At least as far as I know. This is something even worse. Banks fail and bubbles pop. This is more like the micro collapse of 2007-2008. The world isn't going tend but it's not just a typical bubble burst and market correction as they say.Like I said earlier in this thread this is going to be more like the early 00's. Not a whole lot happened with that one, they just swept it under a rug somewhere .
We aren't anywhere near Weimar levels. Weimar had hyper inflation. Meaning that the inflation increased by 50% or more a month. Our inflation isn't that bad. People aren't taking wheelbarrows of cash to the store to buy a loaf of bread and a can of soup. Considering how low the wages are in the US it might seem that bad. But it isn't.Now. Weimar Germany produced one moustached Austrian who has become the stuff of nightmares for the 1%. But as we are now a global Weimar, how many will rise up this time?
He wasn't kidding when he said that his spirit would rise up from the grave and the world would know he was right.
Yeah, these kinds of situations always bring out the Chicken Little Boomer tier types. The world is always going to end. It's all BS I have heard before. Some people don't seem to have a middle ground. It's either everything is fine or the world will end.Imagine if, during the dotcom bubble, people started to declare the collapse of western civilization was coming any minute, everyone needs to call the fuck down and focus on laughing at Californians losing their money.
So besides normalfags catching cold feet and running on the banks (I don't see that happening right now). Will this impending end of Californian civilization effect me, a broke person in the midwest, personally?
Nothing will change for the vast majority of the population. Most Americans don't even have any money in their bank accounts. They live paycheck to paycheck. This isn't going effect many people. If you were poor before this happened, you will continue to be poor no matter what happens. You might get poorer. But that would be about it.Now, does this in any way effect people who are already poor?
You ever play Half Life 2? If you did there is a vortigaunt sweeping the floors up behind a fence under watch of a Combine guard at the train station Freeman arrives at. We are that Vortigaunt. No matter what happens we will still be sweeping the floors.
