Many economists point to the same thing happening after WWII. The global zeitgeist has changed completely.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:30 pm Slightly.
I think American workers as a whole are tired of being crapped on and unappreciated.
Long hours, too many work days, long commutes, low wages, bad tips, jerk bosses, rude customers.
Americans realized they are happier working less and spending time doing things they didn't before- working on their houses, gardens, spending time with their kids, etc etc.
Add into it soaring inflation, and the cost of doing business in America has gone up.
People aren't taking those or any jobs for their pre-covid going rates. Peopel want higher salaries, better benefits, more work from home options and they can get it.
Business owners are on notice.
The above, gentlemen.....will push many, many Americans toward Bernie and AOC. Europe as the model.
Your team still needs to come up with an answer for the above people.
For 40 years? Your team's answer was:
-shut up and work harder. Get two and three jobs, and don't complain
-free education and training is insane, shut up and pay for it
-free health care is insane, shut up and pay your ridiculous deductible
-get the .gov out of the way, and your life will improve
-trickle down economics
-unions are bad
-give tax cuts to the 1% and corporations because.....we say so
-socialism is bad, let the corporations rule the roost
You need a new path. And you still don't have one. All you have now is conspiracy theories, guns, the election was fake, and other nonsense that has nothing to do with Kram's above paragraph.
I'm DYING for the adult conservatives in America to show us their solutions. And the last election cycle told you just how bad things have gotten in your party---you literally didn't have a platform. Terrifying, if you actually believe in your conservative values.
Yep, you can hang on to power on by fixing elections and restricting voting.....but to what end? Trump made all the above economic problems worse, not better.
