6. The media

Yeah, I truly believe the media is more owned by the ruling elites than ever before. And what they saw Joe Biden doing for the working class was wholely unacceptable to them. Absolutely drove them crazy to hear stories of workers telling their jobs to shove it and going out and getting a 25% raise.

It drives the masses to be more outraged about restaurant workers getting a $5 an hour raise than billionaires getting a $5 Trillion tax cut. I've watched it on social media, I've heard it at bars and restaurants, and I've read about it all over. You want blue collar people to get totally outraged? Tell them that McDonald's workers are now making $16 or more some places, those people will practically take to the streets with pitchforks if some poorer workers than them get something. The people are the puppets now.

Hell, here in Michigan, they mandated sick days for all workers, and other working people literally showed up at the capitol to protest.
