On something I was watching a day or two ago they were talking about the last time we were in this situation 70's, 80's. like now inflation was high and people were having trouble trying to put food on the table. We didn't have the internet then but the press worked on destroying workers. Rather than trying to raise their pay packet so that in real terms it was the same, they were described as taking the country to ransom and getting up to some strange activity in graveyards or something. The show noted how last time they made the workers pay for the mistakes of Capitalists and this has become what always happens. The want it to be the same this time. However you could not get a better time to reverse it than now.Decline of unions has lead to an out of kilter society where the rich get richer and the poor get shit on.
