70% of Americans are feeling financially stressed, new CNBC survey finds
PUBLISHED TUE, APR 11 20236:00 AM EDTUPDATED 5 HOURS AGO

Inflation, economic instability and a lack of savings have an increasing number of Americans feeling financially stressed.

Some 70% of Americans admit to being stressed about their personal finances these days and a majority — 52% — of U.S. adults said their financial stress has increased since before the Covid-19 pandemic began in March 2020, according to a new CNBC Your Money Financial Confidence Survey conducted in partnership with Momentive.

Anxious and uncertain about whether they can get a better handle on their money, some may be intimidated by the prospect of creating a budget or unsure of where to stash their cash to get the highest returns. Others may be wondering how to begin saving for retirement when they’ve gotten off to a late start.

“People are worried that the money they’ve saved won’t last and are worried they’re going to have to lean more on their credit cards and other sources of debt just to get by,” said Bruce McClary, a senior vice president at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.

Higher expenses
The cost of the basic household expenses — rent, groceries and utilities — are all higher than a year ago, weakening consumers’ purchasing power.

Nearly 60% of respondents cited inflation as the main contributor to their financial stress, followed by economy-wide instability (43%), rising interest rates (36%) and a lack of savings (35%), according to the survey of 4,336 adults, which was conducted at the end of March.

Berlin: “Death to the Jews!”
Posted on April 11, 2023 by Baron Bodissey



There’s an old saying (apocryphally attributed to Mark Twain): “History never repeats itself, but it rhymes.” The following video of culture-enriching “Palestinian” refugees in Berlin is definitely one of those rhyming moments.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

“Death to Jews, death to Israel”: Anti-Semitic words at Palestinian demonstration in Berlin

April 9, 2023

About 300 people take part in an anti-Israel demonstration in Berlin on April 8, 2023

The participants went from the Neukölln City Hall to Kottbusser Gate. The background was, among others, the ongoing conflicts around the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

At the demonstration, also called for by the PFLP-affiliated Samidoun Group, there were anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and violence-glorifying words shouted. The participants chanted together: “Death, death, death to Israel”. One demonstration then shouted, “Death to the Jews” from a loudspeaker van.

Over and over again, the Qassam Brigades were glorified. The Qassam Brigades are the armed wing of Hamas. Both organizations are labeled as terrorist organizations by the EU.

According to their own statements, the Berlin police were at the scene with interpreters but did not take action against the slogans.
