Do you live everyday actively concerned about your home burning down and all your belongings bursting into flames with it? Or do you take reasonable steps to prevent it/have critical stuff saved in case of emergency and go about your daily life not thinking about it very often?
I’m not being dismissive of your fears here. It’s not like what people are talking about is impossible. But there isn’t much you or I can do about it at the top and generally the economy doesn’t crash a la 2007 every time a big shake up happens. So if you’re really concerned about it, do the best you can to insulate yourself from it and inform yourself about the possibilities to a reasonable degree. But we can’t sit here and agonize over every potential doom and gloom situation that could happen on any given day, especially when tons of times what people talk about on HN, the news, wherever, never come to pass or are not nearly as bad as predicted. It’s just no way to live.
