> "Computers also aren't really all that much cheaper now either." Depends on how you define "cheaper computers". Over the years, $1000 home computer is consistently far more powerful with far more storage, memory, and features than that same $1000 would have bought you the year before. We also now have nifty toys like the single board computer market (Raspberry Pi, etc) weighing in at the $5-50 USD price range on average, and smart-phones in a wide range of prices (which are basically just a "pocket computer") far more powerful than entire desktop systems of decades past. > Electronics are frankly only so important. > Housing(ownership especially) and education are actually things that underpin so many other societal problems that we as a country should have never allowed lax interest rate policy and Chinese investors / flippers to drive prices so far beyond any semblance of rationality. Must agree with these points pretty much entirely though…
