When asked to detail what would make a better life in three to five years, 60% of US adults said greater financial security

Americans may seem increasingly divided on beliefs and values, but in a new survey of more than 30,000 adults from across the country spanning generations and economic classes, a majority of Americans agree there’s a significant barrier to achieving a better life: the rising cost of living.

When asked to describe what a better life in three to five years would look like, 60% of Americans said they wanted greater financial security, according to a survey that was conducted by the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility and the WK Kellogg Foundation in mid-April.

In interviews that accompanied the survey, respondents often defined financial security as being able to afford basic necessities without worry.

    Politicans are not born…

    They’re elected.

    What you’re doing is like an incel bitching about “all women” just because you had bad luck and dated 3 psychos in a row. The problem is never “all ____”, it’s always the ____ you’re choosing.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see Mamdani as POTUS,

    Congrats, you agree with the head of the DNC, whose said multiple times we need presidential candidates like Mamdani.

    Do you understand that? What that means?

    That the DNC and progressive voters agree that a progressive candidate has the best shot at winning?

    You’re being manipulated by the oligarchs into hurting our best chance in generations to win a battle in the class war.

    Because you’re “jaded” which is really the same as “manipulated into being too exhausted to try”

    Wake the fuck up, it’s all hands on deck and ignorance isn’t a valid excuse.

            FDR

            Fucking easy, but if you didn’t know that and assumed I somehow knew what you were asking for…

            I’m not going to accomplish anything trying to help you understand anything

              Interesting answer. I’m not that familiar with pre-nixon presidents, I’ll do some reading on FDR. Thanks for the tip!
