Prices are rising for many Americans, with 65% of consumers saying the increases are outpacing their income, according to a J.D. Power survey of 4,000 U.S. adults conducted in February 2026.
Recent inflation data adds to that pressure, with the annual rate rising from 2.4% in February to 3.3% in March, according to consumer price index data released Friday. The increase was driven largely by a surge in energy costs as gasoline prices spiked amid the Iran war. Gasoline prices rose 21.2% in March, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the overall increase, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I once read that not being able to make enough money to buy food is when a revolutionary happens. It’s the final straw that people can no longer ignore. It has to happen on a national level.
The problem is that like 20% of these people blame Biden or Democrats.
I don’t necessarily think that’s a problem. A revolution wouldn’t end up with a new Obama or Clinton. Ideally it would end up destroying capitalism and saving humanity.
