And who CHOSE not to offer ANY policies to improve job security?? But wait; it wasn’t her fault, right?!
JIM: you had it right in the 90s! Go back to the chalkboard and write “It’s the Economy Stupid” 1,000 times!
“What are you talking about? The economy improved!”
NOT ENOUGH! (when you’re a paycheck away from ruin…) And corporations were not inclined to have largess with workers to insure a win of the election. I would argue they will never give up anything now; they believe an astroturf media landscape will insure their hegemony. The other side wins? We’ll invest in offshore assets and wait +2 to +4 years…
Thank you for posting this, this is exactly what I’ve been trying to say! COVID brought to households with lower incomes (i.e., about 60% of us) inflation that hit hard, jobs that are increasing while wages are stagnant or even lowering, health insurance and costs continuing to skyrocket, and an increase in debt that seems insurmountable. Not to mention the added costs of exponentially higher rates of depression, anxiety, and addiction.
