Fed Chair Powell "Puzzled" by Lack of Wage Growth

[Adrahil]

14. Exactly. It's not a puzzle.

Republicans and their dupes have sought to systematically dismantle organized labor. Their reasoning was that unions result in unrealistically high wages and benefits and that this was/is leading to the failure of businesses.

It seems obvious to anyone looking on that the their goal, then, was to suppress wages and benefits. And it has worked! Cpmanies are profitable. In the absence of any organized effort to direct some of those profits to the pockets of workers, the profits have, as they are wont to do, found their way to the pockets of CEO's and share holders.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Democrats need to start LOUDLY asking why wages are not going up.... and then provide the answer: Because this is always what the GOP intended with its anti-labor efforts.
