Guessing you have no idea what the Great Depression was like. My parents grew up in it.

Great Depression: 30% unemployment

2008 crisis: 4.2% economic contraction

If you think modern America is bad now, boy oh boy, you're about to get an education on how bad it can really get.

Ok? And this is relevant how? I’m Canadian, so pretty tied to the US’s bullshit at the moment, but damn where’s this US bravery I keep hearing so much about?

Deflection isn’t going to solve your problems.

You are right, but you are comparing apples with oranges here, what was the Great Depression economy contraction ? Or what was the unemployment rates in 2008 ?

[–] druidjaidan@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Unemployment around the 2008 crisis peaked around 10%.

You're delusional if you think the 2008 recession remotely compares to the impact of the great depression. You just have 0 frame of reference to compare. I say that as part of the most impacted group: I was just getting out of college when that crashed and it killed my job opportunities.

I don't think it, I was only pointing out that he was comparing two different things.

I know that there is no way the two events have a compatible frame of reference but that does not means that you can compare the two values.
