Do you not consider 2008-2010 a bad recession?

Not really, no.
We thought it would be terribly bad, but they mostly papered over it with fresh money, mortgage refinancing and welfare payments.
The prepper scene really got going, then, and Bitcoin got started and we bought silver coins and planted potatoes...
and then nothing really happened.
There was no BOOM effect, just a slow slide into complacency and €7 döner kebap.
I've still got my silver coins, dried beans, and toilet paper.
