Seems like an eminently thinkable event. Like, of all the acts I'd expect a mailman might do with a dumpster, throwing something out and specifically mail seems right at the top of the list of things I'd think of.
Typically big crashes don't stick around to their initial extent. That's why the advice is always to just stick to your strategy rather than making any rash moves and make potential losses into real losses.
The thing you want to do if you can when stuff like this happens is keep some of your powder dry so you can hop into trades that become opportunities.

Pretty interesting video about failure modes of different forms of LED TVs.

"I'm sorry, literally this time last year we still called everyone we didn't like anti-Semitic, we weren't calling for death to the Jews and Israel back then!"
Listen to npr. They had no idea it was coming, they can't explain why it happened, they don't believe it'll continue, but definitely they'll set you right.
It's a clever marketing alliteration, but this crash is at least 4 years in the making and has both parties fingerprints all over it. In fact, many parties globally participated in destroying the world economy and this is just a tiny part of those hens coming home to roost.
You can have "unlimited growth" easily by just lying about inflation. Then they just make it so everything costs more except your wages and so record profits for everyone (and record tax revenue since look at all these profits we can tax!)
To be fair though, "generative AI produces factually incorrect bullshit" isn't really news unless someone's looking for a reason to attack a specific one. It's an inherently unreliable technology for seeking truth. That's why Google ended up just stopping a bunch of queries altogether because for sensitive topics they know they'll get in trouble, but not every platform does the same (but has the same problems)

"A nuclear bomb is like a really big bomb that makes a really big explosion and that's bad[...]"
"May whatever God they believe in have mercy upon their souls"

The key to investing is to properly predict the future and to already be in the position you need to be in.
I rebalanced 2 months ago because I saw something bad coming. Glad I did, locked in my gains into stuff that's presently going up.

Hmm! Yeah, all that is pretty important, especially if it's particularly bad information that contributed to setting off a powder keg.
Good to know, actually. The way it took out all those branches it'd just as easily take out a finger!

The headline of this article is misinformation online.
As far as I can tell, the story of a bunch of schoolchildren getting stabbed by a migrant is absolutely true. So where's the misinformation? 3 kids are dead. That's true. Where's the misinformation?
