European here: WTF?
Then you should remember the rise of fascism pretty clearly. That is “what the fuck”
Just a quick question: do people above the age of 17 not get guaranteed meal breaks?
To add to the previous comment, no.
Any benefits above slavery have been hard-fought, and hard-won for nearly a century. Hell, even the concept of a “weekend“ didn’t exist until union workers protested to the point where they demanded two days off every week.
Never forget: anything you have, anything you enjoy, anything that makes your life better… Thousands and, possibly, hundreds of thousands of people had to fight (and die) for decades before they even got a fraction of what we have now. And it’s always the fascist that wanna take it away.
And when they say "die" they mean in pitched gunfights, dark alleys, and other actual battles against criminals hired to break them. Not figuratively on a picket line.
Who are “they”?
Labor and civil rights historians. I just wanted to make your point very clear.
