Like seeing a bunch of geriatric people working the fields under a hot sun……

I remember reading about the industrial revolution from the worker perspective. Jobs were scarce, and pay was shitty, with low wages. If the owner wanted more profit, the simply had the foreman go to the floor and tell the workers they were going to have their pay cut. If you complained, you were fired. If you threatened to complain you were told you were expendable because there were 100 people willing to take your job outside the gates every morning.

Not rich, fuck you, sucks to be you….
