You must have experienced the last few decades differently than I have.

I've seen crash after crash, all softened with taxpayer bailouts, and economic recovery within a couple of years. Often, to "booming" economies, which just means "compared to during the crash".

Should your crash come to pass, it will be another part of the news cycle, 4% to 8% of people will be out of work for a few months to a year, and nothing will happen to the companies responsible.

In fact, they'll get bonuses for pre-crash performance.

This is how history has played out for decades.
