Imagine if Trump pulled young men's name from a lottery and forced them to go shoot people on the other side of the Earth in defense of "capitalism".

That is literally what my father and his friends dealt with as young men after dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis as children.

I only dealt with this one time in 1st grade. Air raid drill, get under the desk kids and cover your head to practice in the event the Russians drop a megaton h-bomb on the school.

Or the stability of WW1 or WW2?

1990 to 2020 was a wonderful time, I feel so lucky to have lived my life then but that was a completely abnormally calm time in history.

Yes the 20th century was insane.

But we had the GFC in 2008. Millions of people lost their homes, lost their job, lost their savings.

1990's were pretty stable.
