Just had a conversation with a Fla realtor who claimed that relative dropping home values there meant it was a good time to buy, because it's "always cyclical."
Refused to entertain the idea that climate change actually should affect the market there relative to the rest of the country.

I had a convo with a bunch of coworkers who were ADAMANT that this was widespread in the 70's "I remember when we had to stop getting apples for Halloween! People put razors in them!"
They refused to believe me that what they remember is the hysteria, not any actual incidents

I don't really care if he's being dismissive, it's the strawman that he's offering to which I object.

You're not actually following the logic, you're simply begging the question of the original OP, since there are other factors at play.
But certainly Trav's "I got mine, why should I protest" is going to diminish as conditions deteriorate, regardless of how much wealth is bound up in billionaires.

I can interpret this as nothing but you clinging to your error like a life-raft: determined not to understand what people are explaining to you, and drawing a conclusion about being on the bottom here that is based on nothing more than your own feewings.

Someone here doesn't understand how inequality works. *ahem*
