That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

Thanks for the context and the link to the report. I definitely agree with most of what you said, the damage that America has caused is magnitudes more than 9/11 and actions taken by America continue to contribute to radicalization. I can see why someone would say that America deserved 9/11, but I guess what doesn't sit right with me is joking that the actual individuals impacted by 9/11 deserved it or trivializing their deaths. Just like the people who were impacted by Americas unjustified actions in the Middle East didn't deserve it. I do share the frustration though, so thanks for the response.
