    As for a black swan event, you do understand what this is don't you?

    And for your ref, the black swan event here isn't the pandemic, it's the world leaders reactions to it and closing down whole swathes of the world economy. The pandemic was (kind of) forecast; what wasn't expected was virtually every country in the world going into lockdown.

    Just for the record, you didn't call this

    That is why we have credit records. Quantifying debt that is healthy and not.

    Words don't have to be quantifiable to be meaningful.

    You're still out-classing pooper, but you're the best match to him we can offer.

    It *is* common knowledge (or at least an expectation) already. I've seen multiple posts across social media listing which companies where formed out of the 2008 financial crisis and how 2020/21 could cause another such resurgence in entrepreneurship. Necessity often does that.

    I'd previously assumed you the seeds of the squiggles you post here are form from the Daily Mail et al, but I now suspect its Facebook.

    For the record - not even Pooper objected that

    You know you're a thick twunt, when even Whorty can see that you're a thick twunt. Although in your case, you're probably too much of a thick twunt to work it out.

    The crash was caused by debt. The pandemic brought about the realisation.
