> When health insurance and housing rely so heavily on work (speaking from the perspective of an American), not working feels terrifying. It seems as though the American system is intentionally setup so that we feel this way. We go through some cycles where capital is in greater control (the Gilded Age, and our current age from about the 80s till Covid)) and then the pendulum swings the other direction for a while and labor gets more of an upper hand - The Progressive era in the early 20th Century, During the Great Depression, COVID (referring to the Great Resignation and the rise in wages that has accompanied it). Let's hope we can continue with labor having a seat at the table again, but given our electoral college system and how our Senate work (Wyoming's less than 1 million population gets the same representation as CAs 39 million + filibuster) I'm not optimistic that this will last long.
