    You are right, but you are comparing apples with oranges here, what was the Great Depression economy contraction ? Or what was the unemployment rates in 2008 ?

      Unemployment around the 2008 crisis peaked around 10%.

      You’re delusional if you think the 2008 recession remotely compares to the impact of the great depression. You just have 0 frame of reference to compare. I say that as part of the most impacted group: I was just getting out of college when that crashed and it killed my job opportunities.

        I don’t think it, I was only pointing out that he was comparing two different things.

        I know that there is no way the two events have a compatible frame of reference but that does not means that you can compare the two values.
