What did people do the last time the economy of the U.S. was like this?

The began to start labor unions so laborers of various kinds could receive a fair days wages. 

However, I'm not sure this would or could work the same way now if people demonstrated for fair wages during these times.

At that time people who owned these companies often beat their employees trying to unionize to death with clubs and worse. However, often people didn't give up until they forced these companies to unionize.

The world has changed a lot but something must be done or our entire middle Class will die out because of the big corporations and what they are doing to the American workers right now.

People are starving and cannot survive on the amount of money they make from any one job.

However, in the 1950s a 17 year old white man could support as a garbage man or carpenter about 5 people and buy a house even without a high school diploma. 

So, you can see just how far the average person has fallen in wages since them relative to the 1950s. 

So, you can see what has happened to return us to the 1920s once again and the beginning of the Great Depression which Trump appears to be creating now too through Stagflation which is really dangerous for everyone worldwide.

Trump is growing more senile and out of touch every day with reality of any kind at all.
