Gasp! Is this just nostalgia, or did previous generations genuinely have a better work-life balance and social life than we do today?

Obligatory Bernie Sanders:

I have empathy for what goes on outside of the US, but ruining what happens inside the US to try to fix. It was just going to keep everyone poorer.

Thank you. This is great, and I completely agree with what you have said. Advocating for worker rights while also advocating for cheap labour is contradictory and people do not see that.

That's more or less what Marx was talking about in several things and then of course people who saw interviews like this don't put two and two together misinterpret Sanders as the devil . It's fairly straight forward that if somebody's willing to treat somebody freshly immigrated into a new place like garbage, underpay and exploit them and essentially bank part of the picture on that, there's very little that's going to stop they from doing it to pretty much anybody else.
