Consumer Confidence Hits 2-Year High As Recession Fears Fade: Stock Market Optimism Soars To Record High

12. Sadly, the article is probably accurate,

no bias needed. Households earning less than 100k definitely fold in a vast number of families who have probably little clue how things work, they're gullible, they're naive, they base their choices on, well, alternative information. Tariffs, ant-stuff, deportations and closed borders make them feel good.

Families earning more have more who know what's up, such as tariff related inflation, brain drain related workforce problems, fewer insured people and lower reimbursement rate anxiety, destruction and exploitation and theft of the commonwealth anxiety, etc. Not good times ahead and I'm genuinely puzzled why people are optimistic unless you're an oligarch. I suppose you could be some niche entrepreneur who thinks you're gonna hit it big now that all those pesky regulations are out of the way -- but unless you're planning to pay a cut up the chain, that ain't gonna happen, but I guess every Banana republic has a few winners.
