Rich people track the Dow, and to them, that’s the health of the economy. The average person tracks gas prices the same way, and to them, THAT’S the health of the economy.
It’s not that they are particularly pissed about gas prices, that’s just the only product that changes on a daily basis, and is displayed on literally every corner in America, so it represents The Economy as a whole.
