Getting poorer while working harder: The 'cliff effect'

quote [ This complicated and frustrating challenge is just one symptom of an overarching problem. In addition to boosting wages, it will take major policy changes, like making child care more universally available and affordable, to offset the skyrocketing costs of living for American workers. ]

Is it getting hot or what?

Why start from a place of compromise? Are you looking to lose the battle before it has even begun? Y'all act like it's always been this way, as if there hasn't been millions, if not billions, of dollars being poured into the system to shift the entire country and world to the right. The beginning of 20th century had a pretty decent left wing movement that has been all but erased from the US's imagination. I mean geez, the New Deal pretty much was the compromise.
