>> Uhh, ever hear about the depression, dot com bubble, great recession/housing market crash?

All of these are cyclical repeating events. Look at the historical data. This is how humans function. Trying to control cycles is pointless and i would say impossible. You just have to be mindful of them and may be "pad" yourself when you reach the extremes.

Markets are pretty efficient at deciding what things are worth at the current point in time, trying to regulate that is again pointless. The issue we often have is collusion of interests (and government is full of that).

SF will resolve itself. Just let the market do its thing and this too shall pass..

Yeah, that's kinda my point. It's awful when left unregulated. And with the great depression/housing market crash, government stepped in to help people out and get the market going again once it was obvious the market had failed/was failing.


the history has shown so far that we cant control/regulate these large economic cycles.
