And wtf do you mean by "don't really exist in the real world"? I guess I should just take from that that you are a troll and I can ignore your posts.

You have been proven wrong, called out, and dismissed how many times now? Yes, interest rates were higher in the 1980s. Yes, there were some bad years in oil & gas in Calgary during that same time. No one is saying that 30 years ago was paradise, and that this is hell. All anyone is saying is that structurally things have come together to make it very hard for people of a certain age to go down the same path to the middle class than it was for their parents.
