It is also that we can't see the counterfactual of letting the banks fail in the Great Financial Crisis.

It is really hard to say though if spending my 30s and 40s largely in a depression would have been worth it just from a personal standpoint.

Imagine instead of the boom of 2010s we had a depression.

Rather intellectually dishonest for a technologist to complain about this really.
