It was already happening. Plenty of people were insulting those complaining about the cost of living, saying things like "What do you mean? The economy is doing fine." In Canada the finance minister called it a "vibecession", implying it was all in our heads.

All these people are talking about asset prices while we talk about the cost of living.

Wasn't Thompson living in a different house than his wife and on the way to a divorce when he died? That's not better off, that's just richer.
