Yes, I also was shocked. It felt kinda unreal watching the movie and facing our reality.

I rewatch it every couple of years. First it looked like nonsense, then as something mildly amusing, then something worth some consideration and lately it looks like a documentary of a train wreck on slow motion that is gradually accelerating.

Now watch the movie time machine and see where we end up if sound money fails.

On it!

You are spot on! I remember when I watched it in 06, it was the most ridiculous thing ever! Then it was put in the same category as the American pie type of comedic nonsense. Now it's not so funny anymore, because that's our reality. Not as bad as portrayed in the movie but it's definitely slowly getting there.

It's basically looking in the mirror at this point and it actually shows just how much cognitive decline we have had over the years

First moment when this switched from absurd comedy to documentary?: When I got the first feedback survey that tossed the 1 to 10 scale for a spectrum of smile to frowny face buttons.......
