But even then, real wages had been stagnant for decades, union membership had collapsed, and full-time employment no longer guaranteed you could pay the bills.\nWhen we emerge from the virus, it would be nice to think that living in a country that\u2019s getting richer means that you\u2019re getting richer too, but that\u2019s not the way it works anymore. Falling tariffs, low interest rates, global deregulation, and tax policies that benefit only the rich have all had the same.
