2. We may be seeing an undeclared general strike

Employers were spoiled by a generation of labor surplus. The Baby Boomers are retiring.

There are a large number of policy options that could effectively address the reality of this demographic shift, but virtually all of them are strongly opposed by conservatives. If you want more people participating in the labor force we need to:

- Higher wages and better benefits
- More rights for workers
- A safer, more civilized working environment
- Have affordable Child care.
- Higher education and job training without crushing debt.
- 21st century infrastructure
- More emigration

That last item is fairly obvious but a huge hot-button for the xenophobic.
