So doesn’t that mean it’s a housing bubble issue? It seems like the focus on 1971 is designed to mislead people to think it’s not a (very) recent phenomenon. This just seems like another “grr boomers” post which is just more division that serves to redirect anger from the ultra wealth.
Is housing the only thing mentioned in the meme? Is the fact that housing is even more obscenely expensive than it was in 2017 so that far fewer people can afford it than even could then some sort of proof that things are better now?
Huh. I wonder what happened between 2017 and today?

This has some serious boomer “I paid $25 a credit in college so I don’t see why you are all taking out big loans” vibes to it.

Thats a lot more recent than 1971.
Maybe that’s because they were talking about what changed between 2017 and today.
I’m not a mathematronicist, but I’m pretty sure 1971 came before 2017.
