    @wintermute_oregon Key facts here check out, thanks!

    I still agree that the changes were needed at the time though, the lower class at the time was essentially a slave class due to low levels of pay. People were being paid so little that young children were forced to work in factories in order for households to make ends meet.

      The left loves to talk about Denmark and employees making 25 an hour. They then ignore there is no minimum wage law in Denmark.

      That is what changed my views.

        And without unions, good workers get paid more and the slackers who cost everyone else money get paid less or BTFO.

        @wintermute_oregon @realcaseyrollins a lot of those people are just useful idiots. they're mad about whatever they've been primed to riot about. they don't actually have a basic understanding of how food arrives at stores or the implications of wages on the cost of their coffee. it's really sad.
