I cannot imagine a single meaningful thing "the elites" could do to have a concession to the human heart. They best they can do is things like taking the boot of Jim Crow off the neck of people. That's not that far from the arsonist-fireman syndrome.

Most of the concessions to the working class are still with us. Everything except jobs. And for a while, "restoring growth" worked. my hobby horse for why it stopped is low interest rates and low inflation.
