Wow. Yeah, it sure is a spectacle. My mind immediately goes to the public health effects of market crashes, because while we only have correlative data, we do have some indication that market crashes in countries with poor social safety nets are linked to higher suicide rates as well as higher rates of mental health problems. I don't know how that's going to look given different social models for mental and physical health in different cultures, but my sympathies are with those who are affected or going to be affected over the next few years.
