    Crazy how union participation peaked in the 50s with 1/3 of the workforce in one, at a time where a man without advanced education could provide for a wife, multiple kids and own a house.

    Crazy that people aren’t rioting in the streets.

      The Parasite Class. That’s what happened. These are people for whom any amount of wealth will never be enough. So they extract it out of the working class by cramming down wages, making all aspects of life precarious, and raising prices.

      We all suffer and the 0.1% accumulare more wealth than they could possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes.
