When the Dotcom Bubble Burst

I worked at Cisco from 94-99 in the Morrisville, NC center. The salespeople there did not even have to really work and they were making bank. And so was I. Until my mental health collapsed and was "mutually terminated. Soon after I left I decided to sell all my Cisco stock and it was just in time, 2/10/2000. I wish I could say I did it because I was smart but I was just tired of the whole scene.

But what is happening now, IMHO, is way worse, and much different, than the dot com bust. The Yemen offensive might be a pre-text for, or start, a war with Iran.

The US has been continually bombing Yemen for 23 years, just as it continuously bombed Iraq for 10 years throughout the dot-com bubble. I don't think it's a good idea but it's not a new one.

US always bombed countries in middle-east/africa, that's nothing new and it didn't impact the world order/economy significantly. On the other hand if US invades Canada... that's WW3.

We are not in the same timeline. Just out today:

Oil rises as Trump says Iran will be held responsible for any future Houthi attacks

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/17/oil-rises-as-trump-says-iran...

“Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN,” Trump said in a post on social media platform Truth Social. “IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!”

As someone with some mental health issues, may I ask how your story continued and what you're up to now?

I am permanently disabled with Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Type and I am currently homeless. But all and all I am doing well. I accepted my illness, take very few meds, and just live the best life I can. I know my triggers and that helps the most.

Thank you for replying. Oh wow :| I'm sorry to hear that you're homeless. I wish you could live in a country with the required social safety nets to keep that from happening and hope you are safe.
