This comment on the post indicates that it's a CitizenWatch article, but that article's own listed sources don't support the 60% number either (as I call out in my response to that comment).

I swear there's barely anywhere online anymore where people practice basic skepticism. If it aligns with their existing biases they just slurp it up, no matter how absurd.

Yeah, that statistic is obviously bullshit and people here should notice. They really should notice

A split payment doesn't necessarily mean being destitute either. My wife and I keep our finances separate and do split payments when we go grocery shopping together.

Should’ve been 96% or something—the same as the percentage of people I hope realized the number couldn’t possibly be accurate. Make it truly absurd if it won’t be accurate!
