1. Honestly, I'm part of the "bottom 80%", and it is bleak

I can’t afford an apartment, I’ve had to get used to more expensive things, and the threat of automation still looms. People only get paid enough to barely get by, essentially working hard for survival only, and most sellers now pretty much mostly target the top 20% and have pretty much abandoned the bottom 80%.

I know better to never trust Republicans, plus I’m transgender and a minority, but I can see how some people would be desperate, especially when they don’t know better about the causes of inflation, corporations jacking up costs, and the stuff that Biden did for red states, and how abysmal historically that Republicans are when it comes to the economy.
