Yes, nothing like '29. Then most people lived in rural America. Groceries were bought every day at the local store if not raised on the farm or family plot. We are much more interconnected now and more interdependent. Maybe it all could collapse. But with diversity theoretically comes (I'll probably get arguments here) resiliency. Today while the US technocrazy stock market is pulling back, Japan and some other World markets are hardly effected. I think the drop in the tech stocks was inevitable - I just wish I could have got the timing down better. These days traders prosper and investors gain a lesson.
