Not sure if serious. Recession is almost certain, and the only fiscal "stimulus" that's likely to come is tax cuts. Will probably turn into a depression. But even the Great Depression had a huge amount of fiscal stimulus and progressive reforms to help get out of it. Not to mention, the crashing of the economy appears to be purposeful:
Pretty serious. Recessions affect different layers of the economy at different times. First markets crash, but your income and job security stays the same. Then markets plateau, but workers start losing jobs. Finally, markets start to grow again, but you're still living under the bridge.
If you're not a billionaire, this is the best time to invest - you still have a job, but markets are going down rapidly. You won't have cash later on.
