The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

    Majority of Americans don’t remember struggling to find toilet paper.

      Not being able to buy toilet paper because the store is out of it is different from not being able to buy it because it’s too expensive

    For years ago huh? What an oddly specific time, most people would say 5 years since it’s half of 10. On a completely unrelated note with no implications whatsoever, isn’t this an election year?

      Perhaps they’re comparing things to pre-COVID?

        4 years ago was October 20th 2020. We were in covid by then.

    Yep.

    Too bad Kamala spent the first two months of her campaign repeating memes instead of advertising plans to benefit the working poor.

    People can’t eat joy.

      Democrats care about the poor about as much as Republicans care about babies once they’re born. It’s mostly lip service and a few scraps so the majority of people don’t realize we’re getting fleeced regardless of who’s in charge.

    Well the horrible spectre of Trump’s possible return to power has chopped off at least an extra four years off my lifespan over the last 4 years. You age 8 years in 4 and tell us how you feel.
