Consumer Sentiment Dips Lower Than Yamcha's Power Level! Are We All Doomed?

Kamehame HA HA... It's Bad News!

Heya! It's Goku! I've been hearing some rumblings that are even scarier than Frieza's laugh. Turns out people are feeling down about the economy. This University of Michigan survey says consumer sentiment is at a low 57.0! That's worse than my chances of winning against Beerus without Super Saiyan God! It's dropped almost 12% since February and a whopping 28% from last year. Even I can feel that kind of power drain!

Inflation: The Real Energy Drain!

Turns out the main culprit is inflation. People are worried prices are gonna keep rising faster than my power level when I get angry. They expect inflation to be around 5% in a year! Five years from now it could be over 4%! That's like having to power up to Super Saiyan 2 just to buy a senzu bean! President Trump's tariff plans might be making it worse too. It's all so complicated I wish I could just solve it with a Spirit Bomb!

Expectations Falling Faster Than Krillin!

Not only are folks worried about the present but their expectations for the future are also dropping faster than Krillin in a fight against Cell. The survey's expectations index fell almost 18% from last month and 32% from last year! It's like everyone's giving up hope of finding the Dragon Balls.

Unemployment Fears: Higher Than Vegeta's Ego!

People are also scared about losing their jobs. The number of folks who think unemployment will rise is the highest it's been since 2009! That's like everyone suddenly becoming weaker than Yamcha. We gotta train harder and find a way to make things better!

Market Crash: The Ultimate Ki Blast!

The stock market took a beating after the survey came out. The Dow Jones dropped over 500 points! It's like taking a direct hit from a powerful Ki Blast! I hope everyone can recover and power up again soon!
