Rising costs for housing, food, energy, and healthcare are pushing many closer to despair. As the situation worsens, businesses are likely to close, leading to even more unemployment. The article calls for public demonstrations on Labor Day to advocate for workers' rights, stressing that politicians need to prioritize the needs of the citizens over the interests of billionaires. It highlights the lavish spending by Trump, including $200 million on a ballroom and $1 billion on a jet, while many Americans struggle financially.

The author argues that collective action is necessary to drive change and hold politicians accountable. The piece serves as a rallying cry for citizens to make their voices heard in the face of economic hardship. Ultimately, it warns that without such efforts, the dollar’s value may become insignificant.
