That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

ironically, 9/11 is Airplane! for millennials. People born after us will forever be confused as to why we find it so funny

Eh I wasn’t even alive on 9/11 and people my age still make jokes about it, probably because every year in middle and high school we were forced to have a #neverforget presentation/assembly
