Are you kidding me? A four-year period and we’re supposed to be happy about that? That’s like saying getting a participation trophy when you didn’t even participate is a great outcome. Come on, Mr. Hatzius, let’s aim a bit higher, shall we?

But who am I to judge? I mean, I’m just a lowly reader who probably couldn’t predict the weather let alone the outcome of the economy. So, okay, four years it is.

Let’s break it down. In those four years, anything could happen. We could have a zombie apocalypse for all we know. But let’s stay positive and look at the bright side. Maybe in four years, we’ll have flying cars and teleportation devices. Who knows?

But seriously, folks, the economy is a fickle thing. One minute we’re up, the next we’re down. It’s like a rollercoaster ride that never ends. So, I guess we’ll just have to hold on tight and hope for the best.

In conclusion, Mr. Hatzius, thank you for your insight. Four years may not be the greatest outcome in the world, but hey, we’ll take what we can get. Who knows, maybe in four years we’ll look back and laugh at how worried we were. Or maybe we’ll have bigger problems to worry about. Either way, let’s just enjoy the ride while it lasts.
