Sorry, but no one is entitled to a job, especially if their job is with a tech behemoth that’s doing its best to decrease human privacy. Also, a recession combined with millennial angst/rage might be the only thing that pushes the US to extend its safety net while cutting on harmful spending (mass incarceration, military contractor welfare). The 2008 recession was the thing that finally forced states to reconsider marijuana prohibition, excessive bail, and excessively punitive laws in general. It also probably put Obama in office, giving us the (half ass, but better than nothing) solution known as the Affordable Care Act.
Mortgage rates? Hope they hit 6%, frankly. Higher rates mean a given down payment goes further since total purchase prices will be lower. God forbid that younger people will again be able to afford to buy a home or condo in an area that’s not part of an exurban asteroid belt.
