they want and i had conservatives say it was the golden era because you re talking about in income taxes, none or very little. you re talking about even child labor being legal which some said maybe we should bring back and workers having almost no rights and union rights being minimal and immigration being cut off from non-white countries. it sort of ideal and feels like workers right now are in a similar struggle people on strike because they re fed up with low wages and the conditions, et cetera. your thoughts? michael s piece is spot on. nobody wants that. what happened is that covid essentially allowed people to reasses their lives. you have people who would rather have a lower paying job with benefits than a contract job that pays very well but has no benefits and they have to cut health care themselves. this notion of a labor shortage is basically for lack of a
