this is those kinds of mob behaviours that induce crisises, the self-fulfilling cause of a crash of consumption that will then actually make you need to tighten spending. The first initiators are the most responsible.
Well if you actually convince them you solve the crisis. Since this mindset is not taught in public education it is left as an individual responsibility. I would promote autocratic censorship/tamming down of hysteric/fear mongering mediatic reporting on this specific topic but our government are not ready for that.
Stocks ran up A LOT during covid, it couldn't continue forever and it didn't.
People who felt rich because they made a ton of paper profits on the stock market now feel poorer because they have paper losses in the stock market.
That and inflation of course is really taking money out of peoples pockets.
Real world things that effect the way people act have occurred.
