I remember despising the 2015 movie
The Big Short for its cavalier representation of what was truly terrible carnage. Like many, the 2008 shorting of mortgage stock, and the pooling of solid mortgages with garbage ones, was devastating on the economy, and upended people’s lives. This is probably why what they have sought to do to us during the pandemic hasn’t completely taken me by surprise; I have already been chewed up by someone’s idea of gaming system.
Between 2008-2010, my husband and I had lost two residences, our jobs, and our lives were reduced to our two dogs and what we could fit into a 2‑bedroom apartment. It felt like being raped repeatedly, then thrown into the street. I sometimes still get angry thinking about it.
