The covid one is really the only one that really stands out as being a unique naturally caused crash, but what makes it most unique isn't the market stuff at all.

This one has been just waiting to happen for a while, but this one being intentionally caused is fairly unique, I guess.

The size of the dotcom + great recession combined is fairly unique, making immediately before the dotcom bust one of the worst times you could have retired in the US since at least the great depression. But that doesn't affect millennials directly and it's the affect of two back to make crashes.

Yeah, the Trump Recession (we hope not a full-blown depression) will have been uniquely caused as well. Definitely one for the history books.

You think the future will have books?

Far future will. Life on Earth tends to find a way.
