My larger point is, we already are, miles and away, a much bigger improvement than what most of our parents had. If we want to improve workers lives, let's start with the vast majority of workers, and not the top 5%. Isn't that the rhetoric around here these days? In essense, "we are the 1 percenters", metaphorically in this scenario. Restaurant workers, warehouse employees, factory workers, retail employees, delivery drivers, the vast majority of the US workforce doesn't even come close to the type of privilege and benefits we receive, we should probably start there if we really want to improve workers lives. While SF/NYC/Austin type firms complain that they can't bring their dog to work, the mother/father/brother/sister over there working as much as they can and just had their benefits cut (and their employer gives them some catchall excuse like "because Obamacare!") because their hours were reduced from 40 to 35, and anytime they even get remotely close to 40 hours, they get sent home, let's start with them.
