Equilibrium is a theoretical construct. Life is dynamic, there's never anything fixed, there's always disruption and change. The theory needs artificial constructs to be workable - and some models get close enough to reality to be usable and give useful predictions and tools - but the life would always be more complex.

That is correct. Which is why people are refusing to go back to work. The wealthy get wealthier and those at the bottom are getting left behind, with no insurance, hugely expensive housing prices. The dynamics are saying "F you". Perfectly realistic and playing out right now.
