Yeah this means there is a bunch more consumption than there would be if we were all mostly poor but it is what I grew up with so it must be right, right?

Perhaps there are some historians out there they will tell me if I am basically correct.

Don’t they understand that it is ONLY through unionization that their rights as workers will be defended? Is it the incessant propaganda from the right that’s done this or a failing of the unions themselves?
