I knew a guy who worked in wallpaper, he insisted that sales would stay up after 2020 because this was the "new normal"...would not listen to anyone who asked him what would happen when the post-pandemic housing market slowed and the government stimulus checks dried up...he couldn't even conceive of a market turn, this guy was teaching night classes to college students...

You can only wallpaper your walls so many times a decade before people think you’re insane.
