European Tribune - Comments - Monday Open Thread

Monday Open Thread | 35 comments (35 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm inclined to blame Guns N' Roses. A friend of mine pointed this out:

First record: 1987. Biggest one-day crash ever. S&L Scandal. Second and Third records: '91. Recession. First single with new band released: End of '99. NASDAQ peaks at 5k shortly thereafter, and then drops about 4k of that.

2008: Chinese Democracy. Worst crash and recession since the Great Depression.

Where's my Nobel Prize?

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
