3. His story is in many ways the secret of the brief supremacy of...
...the US middle class.

Which ALWAYS had beneath it and propping it up with their labour: the "hicks", bayou dwellers, kansas hayseeds, hillbillies, watermellon farmers, cotton pickers, tobacco planters. A whole underclass of people who worked their entire lives, "can to can't" just to put food on the table.

Ever noticed that the harder a person is expected to work, the lower the renumeration he is expected to accept in return?

Now the powers that be, are working hard at making everyone, who isn't a power, just like Domingo and with our help, pushing the Domingos of the world deep into something even worse that serfdom or slavery which lacks even the limited duty of care that goes with those practices.
