EDIT: I wonder if the housing bubble is starting to pop. I found a place for just under $200K, which is something I could afford.

We are close. We have been in a trade war with china for a couple years now, and are now about to start one with Russia. I fully expect gas to be $4/gal here next week from 3.11 a week ago.
Possible sanctions were announced Feb 24th, Brent crude futures went up 20%, a week later gas went up 20%. Now that Pelosi is actually pursuing the russian oil ban i expect it to go up.

But I like trade wars. No more just posting colors and flags and copy and paste prayers on facebook. No. Trade war is the fun and interactive way to get everyone to participate!

So yes if we squeeze the people too hard this year I could see another depression/recession. Its looking similar.
