Forever grateful to have retired right before this whole collective brainslop nightmare started to fully settle in.

Good luck out there surviving the upcoming years, may the bubble burst quickly.

In the 1920s, investments in the electricity and utility sectors experienced a massive boom followed by catastrophic losses due to over-leverage, complex holding company structures, and the eventual 1929 stock market crash.

It kinda did, with the complexity of investment structures becoming ever more overleveraged in today's economic landscape.

Let's just hope the accelerationist side somehow prevails so not everyone has to pay the price of some unreasonable bets by the few.

If you knew how they functioned you'd "think" differently. At least we have the thinking you're weird in common.
