it probably feels pretty good right now if you're a big-time corporation, or a stock market investor.

If you're a small business owner or one or the other of 1) a participant in the "gig economy" model or 2) an average exploited worker who is busting ass harder than ever and yet struggling to keep up with debt, etc., then you may have a different perspective.
