Interesting split. In my case, the biggest issue is the cost of living, including the housing crisis, so I guess "economic turmoil"?
Nope, if housing and cost of living is an actual problem for you, you're obviously too poor to be relevant to The Economy™ and its turmoils.
Not in my opinion, "economic turmoil" is if you are worried that speculative gambling numbers are too low so the poor serial investors will miss out on short term profits and if you are worried that taxes on people making over 10 million a year are rising to a small fraction of what the poor have to pay. That's "the economy"
I don't think the housing crisis and cost of living crisis is even represented in many goverments outside of pan-party press talking points to appease "the poors" that are worried about it while doing little to nothing.
