I remember it well. I was day trading for a few years leading up to the bursting bubble. Betting on IPO stocks with no basis in fact, getting back out in 24 hours after it doubled. What fun times! I watched it start with Clinton, take on steam with Bush, and end with the 2nd Great Depression.
A question, when did people realise that the dot com bubble had actually peaked?
Just looking at the old NASDAQ chart.
I can - and suppose will - look back through old FT and Economist stories.
But there must be some people on this site who remember it?

This is a documented case of public man-made death. Why? Because a government dismantled oversight, purged experts, and ruled by decree, all things our assessment highlights.

If over 97% of immigrants rounded up & detained (chicago) DO NOT have a criminal record this doesnt not meet the promise of deporting CRIMINAL immigrants. Right?
Compare that to over 1,600 pardoned crimes by President.
Aren't we ⬆️ criminality?
