This thread should be laid to rest.
My god did we ever have many a bloody debate of the same crap in circular arguments
Looking back many of us were very hyperbolic, while some downplayed things to a massive degree.
It's hard to articulate how much our mindsets have changed going back to 2020 to today, that part is truly fascinating. So many wrong predictions, wrong expectations.
Here we are totally back to normal, the things humans yearn for have remained static, things we thought would die and go away haven't, and yet from a fiscal and cultural perspective, much has changed.
