I miss those days. It may have been economically silly but there was so much optimism, especially in the tech world.

Now we're just economically silly without optimism (except for one pocket of the tech world).

Optimism without the ZIRP bubble is the 1990s

Pre-paid optimism that we've been paying for now with high inflation due to overstimulated economy through printed money.

That is called a bubble.

Now some here are about to experience a repeat of the years 2000 and 2008 put together.
