Many Americans regularly worry they won’t be able to make ends meet.

Nearly four in ten (39%) of US adults say they worry most or all of the time that their family’s income won’t be enough to meet expenses, according to a new CNN poll. That’s up from 28% who expressed those concerns in December 2021, and it’s similar to the numbers seen during the Great Recession (37%).

To cope, significant shares of Americans said they are adding side jobs, cutting down on driving and putting more expenses on credit cards.

    The other 61% just disassociate like it’s going out of style.

        Yeah, those wealthy bastards really are just a fucking rounding error, aren’t they? Pushing policies that take away the rights and safety of American women, BIPOC, the disabled, people of different sexual orientations, non-Christians, trans people…all of whom have a much higher representation among the general populace than they do. Hmm…make ya wonder doesn’t it? (taps chin, sharpens guillotine blade)
