They're saying gas is too expensive.

They're saying rent is too high.

They're saying houses cost too much.

They're saying a cocktail shouldn't cost double digits.

They're saying they can't afford doctors or health insurance.

The complaints are specific about specific changes in affordability, not 80's AM radio talking points. They mostly aren't suddenly saying illegal immigrants are taking their jobs.

(Certainly some people are, but it's not really a bigger contingent than any other time in the last... 30? 40? years...)

But they are also saying no to build more houses. They are also screaming and clamoyring to tariff the world 500 percent and then some more. Many people say many things, many people are also economically and mathematically illiterate and or pretending to be due to some vested interest.
