A bubble burst or similar doesn't have to crash the whole economy. It definitely can, especially when it's stuff like financial or real estate. A tech bubble burst would devalue many of the highest valued stocks but doesn't have to take the entire USD down with it.

That being said, I haven't studied economics and am very much a layman. So if someone wanna correct me, please do!

Sucked for California. Everywhere else was fine. But traffic was so much better in the bay so there's that silver lining...
