I do often forget about that book (which was good and correct) because it’s such a massive case of whiplash that it’s somewhat hard to comprehend

I think the direction of travel matters. from 2020-22 we had a) the most generous welfare state in US history b) the tightest labor market in 60 years, and now both are gone and we are right back to ~2014 ish job market except interest rates are high

They will also *hate* how it would have to happen. This is why we need to redenominate the currency and remove a 0 from everything
