Fun fact: the highest rate of unionization in the US was in the 1950s, when it was around 55%. This period was also marked by large pubic works projects and less wealth disparity than other periods.

@LeopoldBloom the democracy problem described by the Trilateral Commission was a direct result of the low inequality in that period. It can never happen again.

@LeopoldBloom Absolutely, and with the current labor shortage, it's a shame unions aren't making headway. There are some issues with the historical leadership tbh....((Take a look at your spelling of public though...))

@LeopoldBloom not to mention a living wage, a 40 hour week and no kids on the factory floor

@originnone that era you pointed to was a big huge problem for the people who actually own the planet and they certainly know not to let voters get that deal ever again. You don't want to see no point noplace if you are really a Dem.

@Roundandroundwego It's the Republicans who oppose that. The only part of the 1950s they want to bring back is the racism and homophobia.
