A 1.8 mm thick layer of aramid fibers backed up by carbon nanotubes can stop bullets:

The trick is to use the carbon nanotubes to hold the polymer fibers together under load, leading to a dynamic strength of 10.3 GPa and toughness of 700 MJ/m^3.

Piling on this with the elimination of post retirement pensions that were once common. Decried as too expensive for workers. That wealth generated by those pensions didn’t evaporate, it condensed into the accounts of the few.
This is sobering but precise.
From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The Epstein case is horrific in its scope and damage done to young lives, but why would anyone think that this type of activity has diminished in any capacity? I mean cocaine distribution didn’t decrease when Pablo Escobar or El Chapo Guzman were incarcerated.

Not true. We have a growing number of brand meds. The only reason we don’t have all brand meds is because the big PBMs threaten to reduce sales of the brand’s meds if they work with us.
They know we will do to brand pricing what we did to generics.
