History suggests that the USA really isn’t better than this. If you ignore the post WWII boom period, workers being treated terribly is the norm.

Well, no. Im not going to ignore the last 80 years. Of course progress takes time and future-looking we can still do much better. We have the means, we have the land, we have the know how.

Workers have been treated progressively worse since the Reagan era. You’re really only talking about a few decades of labor progress in the last century followed by decline.

And that was only because they had to beat the nazis and afterwards prove that capitalism wasn’t worse for common folk than communism. Once that credible bogeyman was gone, we were left with TINA, so they went back to screwing everyone over.
