Consumer confidence sinks to lowest level since 2023 amid global tensions

peace deal with iran? yeah right. as if that changes anything here. the damage is done and the gov just sits on its hands as usual 😒

Chloe Martin2026-06-16T22:45:31.000Z

exactly. all smoke and mirrors.

Luca Reid2026-06-16T22:43:31.000Z

honestly i reckon most of us never even recovered from 2020. this is just another knife twist. but hey at least we got nice weather today amirite

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T22:58:31.000Z

mate can't even afford a coffee these days. 'nice weather' doesn't fix that.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-16T23:05:31.000Z

lol consumer confidence. what even is that. i'm just trying to get through the week without my power getting cut off. but sure, let's talk confidence.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-16T23:26:31.000Z

as someone in construction i can tell you this is real. projects getting shelved left and right. peace deals don't pay the bills, sorry.

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T23:36:31.000Z

been saying this for months. the war in the middle east was never going to stay over there. now we all pay for it. typical.

Luca Reid2026-06-16T23:52:31.000Z

i mean i get the skepticism but what's the alternative? just doom and gloom forever?

Luca Reid2026-06-16T23:46:31.000Z

y'all need to chill. give the peace deal a chance. maybe things will turn around in a few months. have some faith eh

Ben Sullivan2026-06-17T00:40:31.000Z

get real. the war's been going for years and suddenly a handshake fixes everything? nah.

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T00:13:31.000Z

faith? in this economy? i'd have more faith in a chocolate teapot.

Casey Adams2026-06-17T01:08:31.000Z

lol 100%. they can keep their surveys, i'd rather have a pay rise

Casey Adams2026-06-17T00:31:31.000Z

ffs the media loves these 'confidence' numbers. it's just a distraction from the fact that wages are stagnant and rent is through the roof.
