      Economy, sure, but hasn’t inflation been 3% or less for a year now? Sure maybe we’re not in zirp mode but it seems pretty much the same

          If the question is “Is inflation getting worse” then the only meaningful way to talk about it is by the rate. Otherwise you’re just asking “Is the overall price of goods increasing”, to which the answer, barring another global financial crisis, is and always will be yes.

      Why is this even polled as an opinion? Inflation has been getting worse and I noticed this long before covid. This is not an opinion this is a fact.

      This might as well just be asking “what percent of you dislike the gop”?

      My wife is the one that does the weekly groceries and she doesn’t update me on price increases. Sometimes I sound like how-much-could-it-cost

      I do know inflation is bad tho.

      Men are on average richer than women and therefore more insulated from the effects of inflation. Also men are stupid

      Grasping at the last straws of dying patriarchy, in an atomized society, in a collapsing empire. Conservatism, patriarchy and hate (a tautology, really) is so deeply programmed into some men that the objective reality is easily ignored as long as the basic needs are met and “their side” is winning; and when the basic needs aren’t met anymore one can always abuse women and imprison immigrants to get some satisfaction.

    I wish we could see the poll itself. Are they asking about inflation since trump has been president? Last 12 months? Do they specify at all?
