    You know, I’m very happy living in the present day. It has its issues, but tbh the past seems only worse. Interesting times being unpleasant, and all that.

      Yeah, I mean “live through” as in “witness”, sure… Lots of things come to mind.

    Stock market crash of 1929.

    Buy a bunch of puts in summer. Cash out in October. Use the cash to buy up stocks. Be filthy rich.

      Gonna party like it’s 1929 any day now… unless crimes continue, in which case then continuing to be poor is the system working as intended.
