I don't think I've ever met a single person that gives a shit how the stock market is doing outside of the ruling class. Regular people care a lot more about rent, utilities, food, and transportation costs. The Dems are going to get slaughtered.

Daily reminder of the Economist's chart that was "Inflation excluding food, vehicle, utilities and rent costs"

Huh, how oddly specific of choices. I wonder why they excluded those things in particular?

The GOP is the default political party of the US, and its the dems job to poison the well for any alternatives. Dems just come in to soak of the blame whenever anyone's dissatisfied with the business class, but remain completely irrelevant otherwise.

Yea I'd give a shit about the stock market if I could take advantage of my companies 401k match but undourtunatly I have to choose between things like that and "having groceries" and "maintaining my car so i can get to work"
