Yes, it's a decent opener. It's effects are felt deeply RN

I've found that talking about mundane things like the jobs reports is a way in. Ever single month, the jobs reports paints a rosy economic picture, but normies instinctively "feel" that this isn't true. They can look around and see layoffs, hiring freezes and companies shutting down. The bullshitting of labor statistics is something that is visible

I noticed that most people don't even care about inflation. They love crying but ultimately they do not care. If they would then they could change their way of thinking and therefore their financial situation.
