You can’t eat criticisms.

You want to be respected? Then offer an alternative.

Fair point, though I think criticism can be valuable even when someone doesn't have an entire economic system ready to roll out by Tuesday

Criticisms on reddit are less than a dime a dozen. So, no, they are not valuable.

I think there's an important distinction between actively supporting an institution and depending on it. The alternatives aren't exactly lining up to offer benefits

Wages have reached the lowest share of the economy since 1929.

Rising inequality is hampering growth and consumer spending.

What's particularly concerning is how an economy can look successful on paper while the people sustaining it increasingly struggle to participate in it. Seems like a fairly inconvenient detail to overlook.

Do you think strengthening labor bargaining power would meaningfully reverse this trend. Are broader structural reforms necessary to address the growing disconnect between economic growth and workers' compensation?
