I feel like our economy still hasn't fully recovered. Sure you've got an overall increase in market cap, but the common worker isn't nearly as well off as before the crash.

The scary part is when I read about the roaring 20s. It reminds me of many of my experiences in silicon valley.

I often wonder, if the market crashes again will we be in another great depression that leads us to ww3.

It's still unclear that we would need another one. Going by the WWII timeline, the invasion of Poland would be roughly in the next year.

Could you elaborate a bit on that?
