> 2016 was a paradise in comparison to the absolute hell of the current year correct. social contract was destroyed in 2015/2016 but you could still keep your head down and get your place of the pie by saving and living cheap. after 2021 if you didn't "have yours" (401k, house, hard assets) you were left behind and kicked out of society. 2020 took care of whatever was left of humanity.
