I am not planning on doing this, but explaining it on a scale that I can relate to would be helpful, because I know, for example, that said house can store a winter's worth of heat in a 1000 gallon oil tank, or small woodshed big enough for 6 cords of wood.

My feeling is it has not hurt my career at all, and more likely made it better - having your own company, with your own clients and working on lots of things you learn lots of skills you likely won't learn grinding it out for mega-corp year after year.

Other big bonus is, on my resume - there are no gaps - I was either on someone else's payroll (for me less than 5 years of my 35 years of work) or doing my own thing - I never had a recruiter or hiring manager question 'gaps' - on paper I was 100% employed at all times, which is easy to say if you have your own little corp - even if you were technically idle at times.

IMO if you have some money to get thru thru for a while (i.e. you won't be homeless if you don't get a check every two weeks), this is the perfect economy for doing your own thing.

Quite a logical leap to say that everyone in a corp deserves to be held 'blameless' except the CEO - imo, you can't have it both ways.

Who would, or could, do that?

You would lose that bet.

Other than a few places where the town/city as literally being abandoned (i.e. towns in the middle of nowhere were the last factory has shut down) - home process have gone up everywhere in the last 3-4 years, and pretty dramatically so.

I have no hope that the people who created the very tools that led to these problems, are in anyway going to try and solve this problem.

Everyone person who lives paycheck to paycheck, and is barely keeping their head above water as the cost of everything continues to skyrocket disagrees with you.

Good luck telling them that "cost inflation is not a problem anymore".

I can't speak to how things are in Denmark, but without a doubt the situation for young people (especially those looking to rent or buy a house ) HAS changed dramatically for the worse in the USA.

The rich benefit from inflation - especially if they have lots of assets like real estate that have increased dramatically in value.

Inflation is a killer for the poor and most of the middle class - and a boon for the wealthy (who own appreciating assets) - everyone I know who is not wealthy enough to not care, is feeling it.
