    There’s pictures of children in the Coal Breakers. Missing hands. That worked back breaking labor sorting coal from my home town. It’s disgusting what people did to their children for money. Coal fields buried many children.

    Most of human history was like this. The 50 year period after WWII is the aberration. If we don’t fight the oligarchs this is what they will reduce us to.

      Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.

      Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.

    If the parents are made poor enough, this will come back. Just in case you don’t know why they kill social security.
