The ABC News/Ipsos poll found that economy and inflation were among the top issues for Americans in this upcoming presidential election, with more Americans saying they trust Trump on the issues than Biden. Eighty-eight percent of Americans in the survey said the economy was important when deciding whom to vote for, and 85 percent said the same for inflation.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted online among 2,260 adults April 25-30 and has a margin of sampling error of 2 percentage points.

    The citizenry isn’t feeling it though. You go to buy a car and the interest rate is 10%, but you need the car to go to work since WFH isn’t an option anymore, and the price of food and gas and insurance is only going up, never going down…

    People don’t give two shits about the economic indicators Biden is watching and he shows no compassion for what people are going through.

        "A whopping 90% of companies plan to implement return-to-office policies by the end of 2024, according to an Aug. report from Resume Builder, which surveyed 1,000 company leaders. Nearly 30% say their company will threaten to fire employees who don’t comply with in-office requirements.

        Only 2% of business leaders said their company never plans to require employees to work in person."

            Oh the work can definitely be done from home, but I think the difference between your link and mine is where we’re at currently vs. where corporate leaders want us to be by the end of 2024.

            I’m fortunate in that I’ve been working from home now since 2018, but I had to get a medical exemption last year. Without that, they’d be demanding return to office.

                I legitimately hope so, but that’s going to require corporate leaders to either be wrong or actively worked against.

                Especially the 30% who want to fire people instead of allowing WFH.
