Putting aside anything else, the implication that 2020/2021 was bad for yuppies is a bit... selective.

If you're going to put this writer's comments in context of suffering through this time period, you really should be doing so against the backdrop of essential workers whose concerns were more about how they would continue to earn a paycheck when schools were remote and childcare unavailable, or simply had to put their own health at risk, or lost their jobs and now find themselves under a mountain of debt, past-due rent for 1.5 years, and pending evictions now that the moratorium has ended.
