They seem to ignore the fact that, especially with housing, people are only concerned with the carrying cost (mortgage payments) leading to proportional asset inflation.
Gotta stay far away from comment sections my dude. Those places will give you brainrot haha.
Boomers need their internet privileges taken away TBH. Not only did they ruin the world and planet, they've now ruined the internet. Used to be "our" place to unplug (by plugging in) and have fun in a new technology, culture and world but then Web 2.0 dumbed down the internet to the point every dumb boomer in the world is on Twitter or in comment sections saying asinine things.
