At the same time, there are generally catalyzing events that spook an already wary herd into stampede. If the market makers were already on high alert to begin with (and they certainly were), rumors of a potentially world ending virus would certainly give them reason to keep their cash close by.
The problem is that at that time, and still, there are no other explanations of what happened. Everyone, in real time, was scratching their heads. I thought it was a meteor/asteroid with a high order of near term impact. Close, but not quite…. I agree that we are still living in the echo of the GFC, especially in that we are still juicing lending/interest rates.

The vaccines helped with older people. They helped with the early variants. Then the wheels fell off with Delta and then even more with Omicron and the unscientific mandates and crazy rules.
That they didn’t go back and try to figure out variant specific versions when delta pop’d its head up means to me that they mRNA vaccines don’t have the ‘silver bullet’ magic that we were promised, or that the Fauci Fanatics lost the path when they left the same vaccine in place for over a year now.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
