What crazy stuff has happened?
From a U.S. perspective, recently there have been no major wars, no major terrorist attacks, no stock market crashes. Crime is on the decline. Unemployment is low. I define recent as the past 5 years or so....
zomg Donald Trump is in office and nothing is any different now than if Hillary were elected.
The only thing significant about Obama's 8 years was Obamacare. Other than that that, things were relatively mundane.
The political news channels are talking about the most mundate, trivial, sjw bs these days. In the 2000's you has 9/11, Iraq/Afghan war, dot com bubble, housing market/ stock market crash, social media exploding, smart phones exploding.
World is boring as hell these days. You've got the crypto bubble and the whole AI thing to keep an eye on. China/US trade war is same wishy washy all talk bs going on for years. Same with N Korea.
