When you use the word 'commoners', is this akin to the word consumers, in contrast to producers - who make and invent the things commoners/consumers buy and use? I'm asking because this definition comes up from Wikipedia:
"Commoner: The common people, also known as the common man, commoners, or the masses, are the ordinary people in a community or nation who lack any significant social status, especially those who are members of neither royalty, nobility, the clergy, nor any member of the aristocracy."
> Labor laws greatly expanded protections for the commoners, as did Social Security and other welfare programs.
Many argue those post-war gains are being wiped out [1]
