Look to the industrial revolution...

[Locut0s]

Look to the industrial revolution and the turn of the previous century for the kind of America Trump and his cronies wish to create. When the wealthy were barons or mini emporors, see John Rockefeller. The return of true "Magnates". When labour laws were almost nonexist, before the 40 hour work week, before overtime pay, before workers protection laws. Before all of the social equality gains we have made in this past century. I don't believe they will be able to roll it all back, but they are set to do a fuck ton of damage.

1. It's incredibly sobering to look at the first wave of mechanization

both here and in England. Both countries relied heavily on the labor of children who were small enough to climb into and under the machinery to feed it, clean it and service it---all while it was running. While I doubt they'll get child labor laws abolished, they'll certainly get those and other laws protecting labor seriously weakened.

Low waqes for the past 40+ years have already turned this into a hopeless, desperate country for the non rich. Good luck to all of us if this horror is allowed to take office.
