Neo lib regimes have done nothing for the working class… Well besides ensure that we never get any pay bumps beyond bare minimum to maintain regime talking points that wages “go up”
I’ve moved to the UK from Vancouver. When I was still there, my work partner (who is edging towards retirement, 65 and still slinging 50+kg stones onto the wall) told me we’re being offered half the piece rate. It’s a struggle to get $20/ft² and back in the 70s and into the first half of the 90s $50+/ft² was the norm. And this isn’t some backwoods slap-it-up job, talking 20,000ft² around the base of 5 new apartment towers $18/ft², ¾ of a billion dollar mansion, $16.50.
