Reply to comment by huntingteacher25 in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway. Nelson Aldrich, a powerful senator with close ties to Morgan, led a mission to Europe in 1908 to study the workings of the central banks in England, France and Germany. The Federal Reserve was created a short time later by mankls3

That's what I think too. We think we're bad ass because we have two oceans on either side of us, a shit ton of natural resources, and are lucky enough to not have Russia or China as a next door neighbor like our friends in Europe and Asia. We're cocky and nouveau riche and will burn out. If we survive that, maybe we'll grow up.

I apparently already had them on ignore. And I generally only do that if someone is exceptionally vile or stupid.
