I remember the 70s and started working as a high school student in the mid 80s. Even then, in the mid and late 80s I remember working part time at restaurants with people who were still actually making a living as a line cook. These people were working as a cook at a moderate sitdown restaurant and were able to afford apartments and to own cars. Then in the early 90s as I left for college I started seeing changes, friends I had from ebfore were now renting rooms rather than apartments. This type of worker got absoluitely hammered in the 00s and gooing into Covid were totally unable to bear even the most modest of financial crises.

I do think it's worth mentioning though that under Biden, the tide has legitimately started to turn back. Low wage earners have seen huge raises, ones that have greatly exceeded inflation even during the worst of it. Strengthening Obamacare has also led to more people having health care coverage than ever. Biden knows who needs help, the working poor, and the middle class. He's jhe most pro union president in history. He cares zero about the rich, "they're doing fine without any help" are his words.
