Call it the Great Reset. Across the US, labor unions are winning surprisingly large contract settlements as workers have reset their expectations to demand considerably more than they did just a few years ago, and that has in turn pressured many corporations to reset – and increase – the pay packages they are giving in union contracts.
The austerity narrative preaches to you that natural scarcity makes impossible even an objective so modest as a living wage for everyone.
Don’t be fooled.
Universal affluence would be possible, if only the wealth that workers create were not being hoarded.
