Jeffrey Snider: Fix the suffering in the labor force or next time you might actually get socialism


The American labor force is suffering like it hasn’t since the 1930’s, but nobody seems willing to challenge Economists’ easily disproved claims.

Into that vacuum had swept Mr. Trump himself, but also Mr. Sanders.

May Day is still only trending toward becoming an official holiday.
