Is there a forum thread anywhere from the year prior to the GFC. I'm curious to see what goon sentiment was on the wider economy at the time, even though we have clearly blown way past that poo poo like the bus racing GIF.

probably something in D&D circa 2006-7 im guessing

the housing bubble was well known in 2005

I don’t think people really knew about credit default swaps tho

this is also why it's frustrating when people say "yes, number is high but [x] or [y] factor from the previous crash doesn't seem to be an issue so don't worry"

it's easy to identify bubbles, it's nearly impossible to identify when or why they'll pop

It's because the younger generations are generally projected to live longer than the older generations and latinos are a much younger cohort on average.

They also are more likely to live in huge extended families. My ex gf was from Jalisco and her parents have 8 siblings each. And they probably all had children too. This confers something of a safety net.

My friend just had the foundation on his (appraised worthless) house replaced because of this for the low low price of $185,000.

they should have just sold it to REITS or foreign investment LLCs with a requirement that inspections are waived and bought a different one

I was under the impression that REITs ate poo poo with the outbreak of Covid driving workers from corporate offices and thus their focus on individual homes would be a natural follow-on.

The Fatwallet Finance guys did. The Big Short was basically the mycrimes.txt of Fatwallet's finance sub-forum.

Like what happens to the cypts if the usd goes kaput? Their value is based on USD.

the simple answer is their value goes up uP UP

but the reality is that they rely on a functioning state with lots of electrify and telecoms, so once the dollar crashes they’ll be functionally worthless and will be impossible to cash out or even “spend” in any meaningful sense
