gotta say, my industry suffered HARD in the housing bubble crash... wages stagnant for nearly a decade.... but it seems to be covid-proof, and we have absolutely THRIVED for the last 20 months... if they reach into the customer's pocket and put summa that 2008 munny back in my pocket this year, I might be inclined to overlook it this once....
