I do understand the "why does it matter" questions nowadays. It makes a little bit more sense because we are recovering. If it was before the recovery I would say it matters as well but since we have already seen above 48k+ already, that means we are recovering. That does matter a lot for many people, recovery means that natural or man-made that drop is behind us and we should not care about it at all.

Yes, it is definitely something we couldn't do if it was one way or another, but it is here now and we should not care about it at all. What matters next is how long can we keep this going up and if we can keep it up than it means we should be going to 50k+ and be better off, or maybe we won't be able to, who knows? This is what we should care about.
