You’re comparing tech to the .com bubble. So, you’re right, it took 8 years to get back to where it was. But that mean it got back to bubble level. Just like RE during Obama. It took 8 years to get back to about bubble level. But that does not mean it was in decline for 8 years. During 1-2 years after the crash, it was difficult to find jobs. The abundance of options wasn’t there. However, it wasn’t hard to find at least one or two position available.
It’s funny you said a lot tech worker wasn’t in position to buy assets in 2001-6, but those experienced people had an opportunity to sell their stocks at bubble price and buy RE. If you’re talking about younger people, I know many who did buy around that time, since they don’t have much problem finding jobs either. I guess where you stand depend on where you sit.
As for not targeting a specific ethnic group, you’re right. I personally expect it to continue. After all, those who really want to target a specific group is a small % of the population. The rest who are voting for Trump use the same logic you’re using to vote for Hillary. They think she’s worse for them than he would be. So, I would be say there won’t be enough support to get any law pass to target a specific ethnic group.
I just had a conversation with someone who voted for Trump. She held her nose and voted for him while hoping he’ll get impeached and Pence will take over. I wonder if there’s enough of those people out there to push him over the top. She’s even worse than you flu. At least you half way like Hillary and aren’t hoping she’ll get indited and get put in jail or get impeached. But that also shows how much Hillary is hated by some people where they would vote for Trump while hoping he’ll get impeached, because to them, Hillary is worse.
BTW, I personally think bills like SCA-5 does target a specific ethnic group. Imagine if SCA-5 got passed nationally.
