    What did the Biden administration do that brought increased wages about? Which specific policy of his do you credit with the increase in wages?

      The two big things I’m aware of are (a) firing Peter Robb on Biden’s very first day in office, and replacing him with a staff at the NLRB that was actual labor people (b) raising about 2 trillion dollars via increased corporate taxes and then spending about half of that on programs designed to create domestic manufacturing jobs

      (Oh also the answer to what happened to working class wages since 2020 is they went up by 12%, inflation adjusted)
