I think it is possible that to be running so close to boundary conditions that a sudden shock to the system can catalyze outsize changes. Not necessarily $2k, but a confluence of factors, especially if they have knock on effects that compound.

Labor in the US has been losing ground for decades, I always wondered how long the situation was tenable.

How many checks and how much low interest debt, how many tax breaks and increased social care spending? All of it feeds in.
