MarcusGates, your personal opinion is that Game Of Thrones season 8 is bad, but I can not agree with that. I think it's very good show, and that is justified the expectations of the majority - except those who expected the battle better then ones from Lord of the Rings. Some things could certainly be better done, but you have a option to watch or not.

Somehow it does not seem logical to compare recession with tv shows, but the truth is that all are trying to earn as much as possible, with as little investment. Next recession is maybe close, but it seems to me that it will still take another few years before that. Maybe I'm wrong but some are still recovering from 2008, and the world has probably learned something from mistakes - recession every 10 years is just too much.
