This shit led to the Great Depression… I guess it’ll be a Greater Depression, just on figures alone.
C'mon! With Trump in charge, it has to be The Greatest Depression!
"Yes, this is The Greatest Depression. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Even the best economists, very smart people, they say to me 'Donald, Mr President, who could know?' Nobody could have known this would happen, but they tell me it was caused by Biden. Or Obama. I've also asked the FBI to check Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop."
"They said it could never happen. It could never be done. But I did it. First one in history to trigger such a great depression. The greatest depression."
great depression led to a ww2, is there please some chance to please not start ww3 please
Two of the three most powerful nations are involved in wars of aggression and the third is backing them up. I would say we are pretty much there already.
Unlike ww2, ww3 would not be a boon to production or the economy
Supply chains would be the first target, like how pulling the plug on rare earth metals is the goto now, and how much can be fully and entirely made at home?
We'd be sitting around scratching our asses wishing we had any form of modern appliance before long. Planes, ships, cars, generators, terbines, computers, microchips would cease manufacture without a comprehensive functioning global supply chain
Fuel, oil, fertiliser would be cut off for most countries
Without an incredible stockpile, most countries probably couldn't sustain any world war
Yeah. Revolution now. We need to fucking build a parallel internationalist power structure and just freeze out the billionaires from the economy. Fuck the UN, we make our own with black flags and snooker. It's up to us to define what it means to be an adult.
Is there like a checklist for us being in world war three already?
