I thought it said "plant money" at first glance and thought there was about to be a cs:go metaphor about the whole team getting money from the action of one player.
>a strike that changed the trajectory of American labor.

It sure did. Tangentially related or not, it's been 40 years of a widening gap between the wealthy and non-wealthy, labor's share vs. investors' share, the cost of tuition, and many more.

Ronald Reagan was somewhat looked down upon for his acting background when he first ran against Jimmy Carter.

Carter (who I believe to be a good man, but not a great president) presided over a poor economy. Reagan turned it around in his first term using unorthodox methods called "Reaganomics".

Reagan's ideas supercharged the American economy, making him enormously popular. He won re-election with 49 states, missing only the home state of his opponent. (Reagan did not campaign in Minnesota, he said it wouldn't be sporting to do so.)
