The stock market getting wiped out and it being harder to find a job is one thing. Groceries being unaffordable for half the country and getting more expensive by the day is entirely another thing.
Boomers watching their retirement go away as stocks crater is kinda sad, I guess. Not being able to find a job always sucks. But people on a mass scale not being able to afford food and basic housing is a crisis the US hasn’t seen since the Great Depression.
It’s getting worse every day, and there is no answer, no long- or even mid-term plan, and no one in actual power is even attempting to help. Democrats do nothing, and Republicans make it worse, while the Trump/Musk administration is Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Forget being affordable, we’re going to start seeing empty shelves.
