The Day Optimism Died

We’re going to remind everyone of the exact day it happened—
when optimism flatlined,
and despair got packaged, securitized, and sold back to you at interest.

The day you lost your home,
but the bank made a killing reselling it.
The day your pain was measured in basis points,
and your grief was underwritten by your own fucking tax dollars.

2008 wasn’t just a crash.

It was a blueprint.

A signal to the system that said:

“Not only can we extract their wealth—
we can extract their trust,
their time,
and their hope.”

We’re not here to rehash the mortgage crisis.

We’re here to name the moment the world changed,
and no one ever said it out loud.
