Showing Original Post only (View all)(Poll) Are you better off now than 4 years ago? pre-Covid [View all]
I'm talking mostly financially. I spend a good deal of my posting here posting the data around incomes, inflation, employment, and other factors that go into the general pulic's well being. It occurs to me that some people are struggling, but others are doing better. I think this central question is always important going into an election. So in your own personal finances, or just general situation, doing better or doing worse? Were things better for you just before Covid, or now?
