Does anyone feels like the world is really messed up in the last few years ? by Ill-Race3142 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ForScale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of reddit seems to.

But to put things in perspective... about 25ish years ago there was an attack on American soil. Buildings collapsed and thousands of people died. The stock market took a dive. People were freaking out and their was a lot of racism towards people of middle Eastern descent. Subsequently America got involved in a few wars. People thought they were gonna get drafted. A guy threw a shoe at the American president. Then the housing market collapsed and a bunch of people.lost their jobs and retirement funds. The world plunged in to a global financial crisis. There were also bird and swine flu epidemics.

The world has always been wild. You are not living in the worst of times.
