I wonder if a crash might be overall good in the long term? Helps in the midterms, which cuts down on the risk of a trump 2028 run, and maybe the money will be used more productively once the tide goes out again and we can toss out some losing businesses?

Ah, so I see we've entered the "normalizing the end of presidental term limits" part of the downward spiral. Maybe I need to accelerate my plans to get the fuck out of here.

Well... define "economic crash."
The outputs no longer correlate with the inputs. Is it possible it's "crashed" already? And is now running in a faulty state?
