If you agreed to work hard and sacrifice on the expectation that it would mean you could live with security and dignity and the promise wasn’t fulfilled, that’s the classic breach of the social contract.
Granted, the Dems (since the 1980s) have been enthusiastic partners in looking the other way when mergers&acquisitions led to monopoly or monopsony, and both parties have happily suppressed wages, and that’s the damage done.
Now that the Dems are actually doing yeoman’s work re: bolstering unions and raising wage minimums and checking monopoly abuse and price gouging and reining in the banks, OF COURSE the media are going to gamely report that high prices hurt but not mention that they’re working on the problems in meaningful ways
Well, yeah.
