the market recovered within a year after covid began.

2008 was closest to 1929.

The market only "recovered" because the government intervened and infinite money got printed and poured onto it. Otherwise it would have crashed.

The greatest wealth transfer in history is not "the free market recovered" but a rigged game.

Poverty in the US went down in 2020. CARES act wasn't a "wealth transfer", but you can claim rich people made all the money if you quote stock market gains starting at the bottom of the crash in March.

What actually happened is Gates and Bezos lost half their wealth, but everyone's still complaining! Just get all the other rich guys to get divorced.
