The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

    People had to routinely work 12 hour days up to the 1930s. Labor conditions are bad now, but it’s wrong to say they were never worse.

      Do you think there aren’t billions of people in the world still working 12+ hour days today? Hyundai cars and Tyson foods are employing actual children in their factories and slaughterhouses in America and getting a slap on the wrist. We just wrote a few laws to make it so that white men didn’t have to work that much as often and said we fixed it.
