Many respondents believe the US economy is already in dire straits, the poll found
More than four in 10 Americans believe the country is heading toward a complete economic meltdown within the next decade, according to a new poll.
The survey, released by YouGov on Wednesday, shows Americans are more worried about the economy than potential threats to the democratic system or the prospect of civil war.
42% of respondents said it is very or somewhat likely that there will be “a total economic collapse” in the next 10 years, while a smaller share, 38%, described this outcome as unlikely.
Financial anxiety ran much higher among Democrats, 53% of whom feared an economic breakdown, compared with just 28% of Republicans.
Good thing most of us are idiots and always assume something terrible is just around the corner… right? oh god please just let it be us being idiots.
I mean im not so sure its idiotic way to think. I mean. This millenium. oof. we seem to be able to build the house of cards higher every time.
Hence the last bit of my post.
