I am sure that this is 100% due to inflation and Biden's policies and has nothing to do with the fact that most Americans are stupid goys who spend their money on stupid shit. Something like 40% of the current inflation rate can be explained by increases in housing prices. I feel some sympathy for proles for whom rent increases are greatly outpacing their income. I feel zero sympathy for the six figure earners in this survey. The vast majority of them should have refinanced their mortgages at negative real interest rates in the past two years. If they are still living paycheck to paycheck after that, it is time to cut back on Starbucks and Amazon spending. Inflation is part of the story here, but stupid goyish spending also plays a major role.

Yeah, the fact that someone would even ask this question shows that they don't know any proles. A typical prole family has 1-2 people who are on Social Security or disability. (To be fair, sometimes they have 1-2 people who are legitimately busting their asses working 2-3 jobs trying to make ends meet.) But they let the rest of their extended family live with them and do basically nothing other than fentanyl and meth. Occasionally one of the adults will get a short-term DoorDash or construction job, but they are usually too fucked up on drugs to hold a job for long. I used to volunteer at a community organization to help low-income people, and I used to help people get their stimulus checks. It was amazing how many adults told me that they hadn't filed a tax return in 10-20 years.

This is satire, right? You do realize that the reason crude prices briefly went negative was because the entire economy was shut down for the pandemic and nobody was driving? This had nothing to do with Trump and was never going to be sustainable. Meanwhile Biden managed to actually lower prices by selling oil from the reserve and Republicans are MAF about it.
