This doesn’t apply to today’s situation:

• corporations are swimming in excessive profits; largely, regulation has not affected their ability to swindle consumers
• unemployment is really low today
• only 10-15% (of the US population) are experiencing a “high cost of living” relative to home prices. Basically, the young (18-25) and the poor.
• renewable energy is making energy way cheaper.
• WFH (Work From Home) is cheaper for workers.
