      Man, it’s so great right now. Mark Zuckerberg increased his wealth by $29 billion just yesterday! People with fat stock portfolios are coming in here to tell us we’re wrong about the economy! It’s awesome!

        God I hate how insular tech workers are. Anything that happens in tech, they think happens universally.

        When the economy was tanking and tech was doing great: “the economy is very fair and just, you need to work harder bootstraps blah blah”

        When house prices soared: “just buy a house in the middle of nowhere for dirt cheap and keep making your big city salary like me!”

        Now the economy is doing great and tech is finally experiencing a correction: “omg the sky is falling!!”
