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.

    If voting was ineffective, the Republican party would not invest so much time and effort into preventing people from doing it.

    Voting is effective, sure, in determining which of them are to be bribed the coming years.

    Overton window, sure. Not at all due to people becoming weary of millionaires asking for their vote while claiming to be just like them.

    Anyone who discourages people from voting is aligned with the goals of voter suppression.

    Anyone who encourages people to vote for millionaires is a class traitor. Look, I can be edgy too.
