Are we great again?
- Not Great Depression level yet; just Severely Depressed now.
  
  Are we sure about that? They keep refusing to release the economic reports, and us having lost 30% of our economy sounds reasonable.
  
  Mediocre Depression
- Yeah we are great now.
  Can’t you tell, we have less pencils in our home and umm… pencils are made with lead, and that is bad for us.
  Oh, they are also made with wood and that can catch fire. So our homes are safer.
  Umm and uhh… You know, I could slip and fall on a pencil.
  So, yeah, We are great again.
  /s < if it wasn’t obvious.
  Also I know pencils are not made of lead, they are made of graphite.
  
  Mostly ceramic and wood, but you still have a sharp point.
