re: Are we about to go into a depression? Serious question.

1929 happened because speculators were borrowing money to invest and then borrowing again to pay that interest. That was a house of cards much closer to the dotcom bubble or the housing crisis of 2007.

This is a temporary stoppage caused by government. Once they got out of the way, the economy will come back. Not instantly, but in a matter of months to years. Also we won’t have a president pushing Big government progressive policies to extend the depression until a decade later
