2007 had a strong economic middle class who could afford shit.
The middle class is a 50s era lie.
The middle class only existed when there's a miserable lower class to shoulder their burden I.e., black, asian, Hispanic immigrants.
Once there was a push for more equal rights, the "middle class" magically faded away.
Nah, the middle class is shriveling up because we tolerate meager taxes on the ultra rich and stagnant wages. Fix the tax code and form some unions, and I think you'd be surprised how much the middle class could rebound.
No, that time's gone. The climate crisis will make sure that that sweet home you bought from your union wages won't survive until you're old... If you don't die early to starvation thanks to the collapse of agriculture.
