    A highly letigious economy could get you there too. Just saying.

    But, yeah, if you are a worker class, it’s in your interest to fight politically for your rights. This is true of everyone. Perhaps the term “worker class” is outdated. All kinds of economic policies can cross all kinds of lines. For example, protections to people who WFH are of no benefit, maybe even at the detriment, of non-WFH workers.

    The real political trick is drumming up fear of bogus or minor issues and then distracting your supporters with cheap solutions to these inflated problems while quietly implementing legislation against your interests.

      If you are in the US, you are very wrong. A highly litigious society can get you money (rarely) but it will not change laws or policy. Try taking some union things to the supreme court in its current fucked up incarnation.
