        War.

        Well, and inflation.

        But besides, war and inflation, the true cost of living.

        And unaffordable housing.

        So, there’s war, inflation, the cost of living, unaffordable housing, hmmmm and it seems like the financial markets are gonna tank, so let’s just put it under a big umbrella of recession.

        And if you mention the “R” word, then maybe the big “D” for depression is due.

        Besides the above, excluding climate change and the threat of AI, no wuckas.

              Correct me if I’m wrong but you saying “don’t panic stop hoarding” sarcastically would imply that you think panicking and hoarding were good ideas.
