They're betting it won't happen again. And the sad thing is, I doubt it would today.

I think you are wrong. The reason why labor unrest isn’t bad is because of the safeguards. People will be fucking pissed if those go. Look at the 2020 uprisings. People still have a lot of fight in them.

I hope we would, it's just hard for me to imagine it happening today.

The 2020 uprisings were peaceful marches. None of those people believe in violence. Their opponents absolutely crave using violence.
