The problem is, we've been in an era of the polycrisis for decades - first 2007 the financial crisis thanks to the US subprime loan market, then the Euro crisis, then came the refugee crisis 2015, then the second refugee crisis 2018, then Covid, then the Russian invasion, then the Israel-Palestine war, and now Trump.

And the last three and a half crises are still going on simultaneously.

There has been no recovery period in which things could settle and those who got left behind could catch up, it was straight from one crisis to the next.
