The reason why people used to work half to death was not because mean employers wanted them to. It was because we collectively did not have the resources needed to satisfy the needs of the average person. And those resources were not things that we tripped over in the dark. It was created through investment. Joe Rich guy benefits and do the rest of us.
Har har, that reminds me of a picture in an economics text book circa 1930 or so at a timeclock in a factory which read "if you don't come in Sunday, don't come in Monday"

yea those employers were real humanitarians and it's not their fault they treated their employees like dirt and worked them to death. Then those horrible unions came along a forced them to raise wages, cut hours and give benefits and destroyed the country.
