42% of what...lol. Certainly not the working population of the United States. Average median income in late 2018 across all demographics and age groups was $55k a year. That's over hundreds of millions of people.

This whole discussion opened up when people started whining after I brought up how Denmark, a capitalistic country, has the highest standard of living in the world. It is a lot easier to fix the problems we have than to burn down everything in favor of any form of communism. Then OH and others started bringing up their own situations into this and I slapped them down because they're irrelevant to the broader point I was making about the viability of capitalism for the vast majority of people.
"terrible working conditions" for somewhere around 3% to 5% of the total working population of the United States is solvable through policy changes, not by setting fire to everything and everyone.
