It may be "a lot of people" in an absolute sense, but it's still only a small fraction of the population. Specifically, the fraction that was already very wealthy.
The poor are getting worse off, with wages not rising nearly fast enough to keep pace with inflation (not to mention being basically sacrificed to keep the great money machine running during COVID).
And they're already starting to do something about it: the unionization push is accelerating (I saw several weeks ago a figure that at the beginning of the year, there were zero unionized Starbucks, and at the time of that posting, they had just unionized the 150th), and if inflation continues at this rate—or higher—without some significant changes in wages, etc, we might start to see bigger problems before long.
