    Yeah, the average commuter will have to lose their house in the burbs (just 50 miles from work), the kid’s private school, and the Tundra. When Frank Freeway is living in a rented shipping container and eating slop from the church food bank, MAYBE a few years of that will wake us the fuck up.

    Me? I’m retired. I could lose everything any time.

      Well you have to remember that Franks house is on an adjustable rate mortgage and his Tundra still has 80 months left on the loan. If the income gets cut, the rug gets pulled on everything and people wake up real quick.
