    Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.

    It’s Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.

      Sure. Prison would be fine. Hell, I’ll gladly argue for the reduced sentence after they’re brought to justice. I bet I’ll be feeling generous.

      I dunno. I kinda consider 9/11 to be the shifting point. That’s when racism came roaring back and also the introduction of the Patriot Act. The 2008 crash was just the solidification of the shit show to come.
