It’s merely a measure of whether or not money is moving around. Currently, money is moving around a lot. Just not from the common person.

Oh, it’s moving from them plenty. It’s just not moving to them very well.

The hit that the lower class and middle class is taking with the high cost of living is terrifying. If Biden loses because of these sentiments, they will only get worse under Trump when he starts a trade war with our trade partners and closes the border so the labor shortage only worsens.

Which part of politics does this relate to? The lack of monopoly busting? The lack of increase in federal minimum wage? I’d love if the House could get off their butts and do that. And many states are taking things into their own hands.

That said, this government has been more pro-union than any I’ve seen in my lifetime. So some people are getting help at least.

Here in Arkansas we have to pass minimum wage increases by enshrining them in the state constitution via public referendum.

The last time the legislature increased the minimum wage was nearly 18 years ago when they made it $6.25 /hr.

They aren’t pro union. They’re pro status quo. All they’re doing is enforcing the few rights unions still have. The second the chips are down we can see what they really think with strikes like the railroad.
