The problem with that is there are real world factors that are working against the general population right now including inflation, wages that have largely remained stagnant for decades, and the disappearance of any kind of retirement plans from many workplaces. I’m fortunate enough to have a very good 401k plan (even before the improvements in the 2023 CBA) and while I wasn’t doing terribly at what I was making (until I started getting short shifted to death last summer) new hires were hurting making barely more than what a lot of fast food places are paying these days. What I’ve found in talking to a lot of people outside of the UAW bubble is a lot of older people (aka. the people in charge now) are either unaware at how much different things are or they just don’t care. They’ve made theirs and are close to a comfortable retirement and don’t really care to do anything to help those coming in behind them and people my age and younger are very frustrated by that.
