That and whoever had a mortgage before 2022 is not looking to go from 2-4% to 7% at the same high prices.

Politicians and big business really fucked us with the whole money printer thing.

Economics thought modeled after WW2, when the world outside the US was a crater.

Boomers and GenX hypernormalized around a 70 year bubble.

Like those at Exxon who accurately modeled climate warming in the 80s, the ecological cost, those who knew knew they’d be long dead before it became obvious.
