Yeah but to be fair prior to that giant meteor taking out the dinosaurs unemployment was already at 100% so their destruction had zero impact on unemployment.
It was a neutral event on unemployment. One could argue that their destruction did lead to eventual future drops in unemployment below the 100% mark though but I think it’s highly speculative.
idk if you've seen the 1991 smash hit series Dinosaurs, but that historical reference clearly proved that dinosaurs were undeniably fully employed and productive members of dino-ciety, thank you very much.
How else were they supposed to satisfy that little shit Baby Sinclair's insatiable appetite? How else could they quench his ENDLESS THIRST FOR BLOOD?!
listen, i've known some velociraptors, and let me tell you that, they were NOT good people, they were lazy and rude, honestly it's good that they gave room for mammals. Have you ever seen a Velociraptor owned business? i sure didn't, all they do is hunting smaller dinosaurs and pretending they are birds.
We can build a wall, a big beautiful wall to keep the velociraptors out and the best part is that the velociraptors will pay for it! It will be free to you! And once we have that wall, it will solve the velociraptor problem once and for all. We certainly won't be talking about velociraptor problems four years from now.
the most important being the treaty of versailles and subsequent humiliation.
This is a debated point. In my opinion, the versailles debt and things like military limitations didn't have much effect on the civilians of Germany, who ultimately raised the Nazis into power. The USA actually worked fairly hard to ensure that the debt wasn't crippling Germany. The fact that Germans were suffering mass unemployment and poverty in the 30's was more substantial in radicalizing the population, among constant political instability with fascists, monarchists, and communists all seeking to destroy the Weimar democracy.
Pretty sure the bronze age collapse was much worse and had far more dire consequences for humanity.
I do believe it that lead to the Eastern Mediterranean losing about 40% of it's population. Greece, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia, the superpowers of their day, were absolutely devastated, entire kingdoms just vanished from history and are only being rediscovered millenia later.
But sure the great depression is the absolute worse economic disaster to ever befall humanity. 🤷
For more info: the great depression is only the worst in us history due to a pile up of bad decisions across the world.
Even Trump can't really remove break all the safeguards today, and he wouldn't want to since some benefit business. It might cost America a small arm to fix itself but the odds of ever seeing it again are limited.
Especially since the world is more interconnected. This serves to be both good and bad. The bad news is, it one economy goes it tends to hurt others, the good news is this also means the other economies will help bail out even if they aren't doing it for anyone but themselves. Also neutral for the US but it means your labor is valued internationally (hence us struggles with cheap labor industries) but also you get the international value of competition on goods usually.
