Americans are struggling financially, grappling with debt and the rising cost of living, and are blaming the Trump administration and corporate interests for worsening economic outlooks for working families, according to a new poll.
Six out of 10 Americans place blame on the Trump administration for driving up their cost of living, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult for the Century Foundation, which asked 2,007 Americans how they are managing the high cost of living in the US economy, who they think is to blame and what are the solutions.
Sixty three per cent said Trump had had a negative impact on grocery prices, and 61% said he had had a negative impact on the cost of living. Nearly half, 49%, said the Trump administration had had a negative impact on their finances. Nearly eight out of 10 Americans, including 70% of Republicans, fear that Trump’s tariffs will increase the price of everyday goods.
You aren’t going to assume I’m exceptional but you have no problem assuming I’m the opposite. Most people are in that grey area in between. I’m not concerned with how you evaluate my character. I am incredibly entertained that you seem to think your opinion of me has any value.
Yes… I have no problem assuming that you are average. Thus far you responded exactly how I expect your ilk to respond. You plug your ears to truths you don’t like so you don’t have to think about how your consumption habits can and should change.
If you valued my opinion of you, then I would have a higher opinion of you. I don’t expect that of you though, which is part of why you’re average.
this is exactly what narcissism looks like.
If you’re talking about yourself, then yes.
You’re incapable of recognizing when you’re wrong because your ego can’t handle it.
Notice how all positive traits in this conversation are only exhibited by halo and all negative traits are exhibited others.
Halo, are you okay? You need help. I’m not really qualified to provide that, especially not over this medium, but I can recognize you are suffering from a break from reality. This is potentially very dangerous. Please reach out to a mental health professional.
