2008 everyone thought they were some sort of property wunderkind. Just using cheap loans from banks who were investing employee pension funds into complex derivatives. 2023 government put the brakes on cheap loans. Mortgages are highly regulated and aren't the money pump they used to be up to 2008. And private equity is no longer throwing money at dumpster fires hoping to turn it into unicorns. There is money to be made if you aren't completely dependent on ad revenue.

There are jobs out there, just not in the 100x P/E companies. Infrastructure, green energy, construction, and labor are still hiring like crazy.
