      The Great Recession didn't just mean "rich countries producing more stuff they don't need anyway". It meant mothers unable to afford food for their kids. It meant families evicted from their homes into freezing streets. It meant people dying because they couldn't afford a copay.https://twitter.com/BrankoMilan/status/1053766861744168960 …

      But if you are concerned how much stuff the world is producing annually, then the Great Recession was indeed bad, even very bad. (But if you think we should not be producing this much stuff anyway, then you should welcome the Great Recession.) pic.twitter.com/T7H1hPJvs5

      The Great Recession meant over half of Black Americans' wealth vanishing. It meant workers losing good jobs they had worked at their entire life. It meant millions of people in despair, turning to heroin.

          Not really. As a Millennial, I can confidently say that 2008 and the aftermath were the defining moments of our lives, whether we liked it or not. Our entire careers and professional choices have been made in the shadow of what happened then.

          Every generation has its defining moments. We are fortunate recent such events have not been wars impacting broad segments of society. Recessions dislocate people & change life’s path, but are not tragic events on same scale

          Moderate chance of a repeat by 2022, I imagine.
