-2000 election fiasco draws out longer, no resolution until March or April (winner is not important to rest of timeline)
-Economy takes a dive as a result of uncertainty moreso than OTL
-09/11 rattle psyche and international confidence in not only our ability to defend ourselves but also our economy
-Housing bubble bursts early just as Greenspan leaves office and Bernacke does some of the same things as OTL to try to fix it
-Massive selloff on Wall Street turns into a cascade that is not stopped until over $1 trillion in stocks are sold (we actually came very close to much worse happening in OTL and the stock market was closed early one day)
-Sudden closing on Wall Street mirrors more uncertainty as 2004 election is razor thin/markedly closer and 2008 election is a deadlock at 270 votes each as the economy completely crumbles
-By opening of 2010 the Occupy Wall Street movement is far larger, much more organized, and massive protests gather in cities across the US
-July 4 2010: A large combination protest/demonstration in (insert city here) goes awry as radical anarchist elements detonate a bomb that kills hundreds and open fire on the crowd, both sides blame the other not realizing that the real criminals only want destruction. Twitter and Facebook carry the news worldwide in a matter of minutes and the situation continues to deteriorate as "New Hoovertowns" have sprung up across the US and new jobs are mostly white collar/high skillset and those that pay what college grads and even some domestic Americans without a college education think they should get or are willing to take are virtually nonexistant...
