>>EACH YEAR, THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION DOES A
SURVEY OF A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF AMERICANS TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT STRESSES THEM OUT THE MOST, IN THIS YEAR THE RESULTS
ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS ONES SO I WANTED TO
SHARE THE RESULTS.
THEY FOUND THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE STRESSED
OUT ABOUT AMERICA.
THE STATE OF POLITICS AND EVERYTHING THAT
ENTAILS --
>>AND KEEP IN MIND, THEY ARE TALKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE
SAMPLE, NOT JUST A MILLENNIALS.
THEY ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS
WITH PEOPLE, OR SURVEYING PEOPLE, WHO LIVED THROUGH
WORLD WAR II, AND THEY THINK THE MODERN DAY, TODAY, IS WORSE
THAN IT WAS BACK THEN.
>>AND VIETNAM, AND 9/11, AND ALL THOSE MOMENTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS FOR ALL THAT, WHICH
WE WILL GET INTO.
>>OKAY, SO --
>>IF YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT THEY MEAN BY THAT, HERE IS WHAT YOU
WILL FIND.
43% ARE RIGHT ABOUT HEALTHCARE, 35% ABOUT THE
ECONOMY, 30% ARE CONCERNED WITH TRUST IN GOVERNMENT, CRIMES, AND
TERRORIST ATTACKS.
>>A LOT OF INTERESTING NUMBERS HERE.
62% ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
MONEY, VERY NORMAL.
61% ABOUT WORK, NORMAL.
BUT CONCERNED
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FUTURE OF THE NATION IS ACTUALLY
HIGHER THAN THEIR CONCERN ABOUT MONEY OR THEIR JOBS, THAT'S
AMAZING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
PART OF IT IS BECAUSE
THEY REALIZE, OH, RIGHT, WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES AFFECT ME.
I
DON'T HAVE HEALTHCARE, I'M WORRIED THAT SOMEONE IN MY
FAMILY WILL DIE, OR IT'S INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE AND IT'S
KILLING US.
THE PAYMENTS, ETC.
BUT TO ME THE OTHER AMAZING
NUMBER WAS NOT JUST SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE I'M WORRIED ABOUT
THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I MIGHT NOT HAVE HEALTHCARE AND I MIGHT
DIE, THAT'S SPECIFIC AND UNDERSTANDABLE, THE STATE OF THE
ECONOMY, I MIGHT NOT HAVE A JOB -- BUT 30% SAID THEY WERE
CONCERNED, AS YOU SAW ON THAT CHART, ABOUT TRUST IN
GOVERNMENT.
SO THIS IS A THING THAT PUNDITS ON TV SAID NOBODY
CARES ABOUT, RIGHT?
CAMPAIGN-FINANCE REFORM,
CORRUPTION, THESE ARE MINOR ISSUES.
NO THEY AREN'T. PEOPLE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE GETTING IT, WE DID A POLL IN CALIFORNIA,
THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE WAS MONEY IN POLITICS.
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY THE DONORS, AND AS LONG AS
THE GOVERNMENT AND POLITICIANS ARE WORKING FOR THAT TINY GROUP
OF RICH PEOPLE WE WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING.
NOT DECENT HEALTHCARE,
MEDICARE FOR ALL, DECENT WAGES, AND WE ARE SLOWLY BEING
CRUSHED, AND THAT HAS DAWNED ON PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE DEPRESSED ABOUT IT.
>>AND PEOPLE ARE LAYING AWAKE AT NIGHT WORRIED ABOUT THESE
THINGS.
IF YOU LOOK AT DEMOGRAPHICS, THE SURVEY FOUND
THAT WOMEN ARE SUFFERING FROM HIGHER STRESS LEVELS THAN MEN --
>>THAT'S ANOTHER AMAZING PART OF THE SURVEY.
TRUMP APPEALS TO
MEN MORE, BUT IT'S AMAZING HOW IT WORKS ON A MACRO LEVEL.
A LOT
OF GUYS, OF COURSE NOT ALL OF THEM, OF COURSE THESE ARE GIANT
MACRO LOOKS AT THE COUNTRY, BUT A LOT OF GUYS VOTED FOR TRUMP,
AND WHEN HE WON THEY ARE LIKE, THANK GOD WE ARE BACK IN CHARGE.
AND THEIR STRESS LEVELS WENT DOWN.
AGAIN IT'S AN
OVERGENERALIZATION BUT IT'S IN THE NUMBERS.
I WAS SURPRISED
BECAUSE I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT ECONOMIC ANXIETY AND ALL THE
DIFFERENT ANXIETIES OVERALL WOULD'VE AFFECTED MEN, BUT
NO, THIS YEAR THEY ARE LIKE, THINGS ARE A LITTLE BETTER.
AT LEAST SOME PERCENTAGE OF MEN.
>>I'M JUST GUESSING, THIS IS SPECULATION, BECAUSE THE WOMEN
DON'T GIVE A REASON FOR WHY IT IS THAT THEIR STRESS LEVELS ARE
HIGHER THAN MEN, BUT MY SPECULATION IS, THINK ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS THAT HELP SINGLE MOTHERS.
THE EQUALITY
ISSUES WE ARE FINALLY SEEING SOME PROGRESS ON THAT NOW IS
BECOMING MORE OF A REGRESSIVE THING.
WE ARE SEEING THE COUNTRY
REGRESS IN CERTAIN WAYS WHEN DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
WE DID SEE PROGRESS, AND I THINK LOOKING BACK NOW I FEEL LIKE I
KIND OF TOOK THAT FOR GRANTED.
>>BUT A LOT OF CONSERVATIVE MEN DIDN'T SEE THAT AS PROGRESS.
THEY KEPT SAYING WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK.
MEANING, WE WANT
IT BACK FOR US.
BUT AGAIN, DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO OUR
SPECULATION ON IT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BREAK DOWN BY GENDER WHY
THEY ARE UPSET OR LESS UPSET, THEY JUST BROKE IT DOWN OVERALL,
AND EXPLAINED THAT THE GENDERS DO VIEW IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
>>ANOTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION OR DATA THAT I THOUGHT WAS
INTERESTING --
>>MORE AMERICANS ARE STRESSED OUT, THEY ARE FEELING MORE
ANXIETY, AND IT IS AFFECTING THEM PHYSICALLY AS WELL BECAUSE
THEY ARE GETTING LESS SLEEP, AND WHEN YOU ARE STRESSED OUT, YES,
IT'S AN EMOTION BUT IT ALSO HAS A PHYSICAL REACTION IN THE BODY,
YOU RELEASE MORE CORTISOL, YOU ARE EATING UNHEALTHY FOODS,
SLEEPING LESS, SO THIS WILL AFFECT OUR HEALTH AS WELL.
AND I
KNOW I CAN DEFINITELY SYMPATHIZE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST
SLEEP OVER THESE ISSUES.
>>IN SOME WAYS I'M SURPRISED THAT THE ANXIETY IS GREATER, AND
GOD HELP US IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF ECONOMIC CRASH BECAUSE THIS
WILL SHOOT THROUGH THE ROOF.
LOOK, MINIMUM WAGE IS $7.25,
THAT'S $15,000 A YEAR, HOW DO YOU NOT LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT IF
YOU ARE MAKING $15,000 A YEAR?
HOW DO YOU LIVE ON THAT?
AND
THAT'S TRUE FOR A LOT OF
AMERICANS.
AND SO MANY AMERICANS
NOW HAVE BEEN CRUNCHED DOWN TO MINIMUM WAGE, THEY USED TO HAVE
GOOD JOBS AND THEY DON'T ANYMORE.
AND THEY NEED
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND THAT HURTS THEIR SENSE OF
SELF-RESPECT.
AND CONSERVATIVES THINK THEY ARE ALL BOMBS, THEY
ALL WANT HANDOUTS.
THEY DON'T WANT HANDOUTS, THEY MAKE $7.25,
THEY NEEDED FOR THEIR KIDS.
THEY AREN'T BOMBS.
A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE ARE WORKING POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS, IT'S HARD NOT TO
GET STRESSED OUT.
I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF ECONOMIC
CRASH, IF IT DOES THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING
TO BE ASTRONOMICAL.
