>This is bad history and bad logic. I really thought you knew better. If I wanted this kind of insight, I'd watch more MSNBC.
You might not find what I'm saying on MSNBC (owned by Comcast - sales of $80 billion in 2016)
You'll hear a lot about Trump, Russia, Comey, blah, blah but precious little about how the banks and large corporations shafted working people.

Things have changed, at the expense of the US worker, period.
For some reason, few people want to acknowledge it.
Again, Bernie gets it.

The workplace I entered was entirely different from the one my children entered and the one my grandsons will enter is on another planet.
Reagan usually gets the blame for the reversal in the fortunes of the US worker, but I saw it starting under Jimmy Carter, who spearheaded the deregulation of the trucking and airline industries.
Because of deregulation, millions of high paying union jobs were replaced by low paying non-union jobs and once-powerful unions were rendered powerless.
In retrospect, Carter was probably right to deregulate trucking.
The current system is much more efficient.
I'm not so sure about the airlines. No one gave any thought to what the resultant low fares would do to already overcrowded airports.
Efficient or not, however, in the case of both industries, no one gave any thought to the social consequences, as this study shows.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
