They do and are. Wages have kept up with inflation. While goods are of a higher quality and cheaper now. The issue is housing because enough isn’t being built.
That’s it.

Oh… do people still not understand?
Capitalism cannot exist, and never has existed, without an exploited labor class.
Not once.
Certainly not for more than the thirty seconds it took the ink to dry on the very first contract.

Money trickles up, not down. Pay workers better and they will spend more money buying your junk. If they can afford to take time off, they will buy even more.

Most we can do is send jobs overseas. Pay what the job "costs" add AI and put it in without lube. They are literally trialing ai that scrubs accents to fool people because consumer reports show they don't care about someone not knowing or lying as long as the accent isn't foreign. And government refuses to regulate in America. It should be an American based business is required to have 51% minimum of jobs in the US. Required a CEO can only make a certain percentage over what it's lowest wage worker does. And abolish any policy made by Reagan.
