It was illegal as all get out but OSHA would not fine or check the guy the guy on it because of the good ole bot system they had going on there.
You are also going it about it wrong as not everyone will be as cold hearted about it all as you are portraying. The environment of corruption led us to where we are today and if the powers that be are unwilling to clean that up it will just get worse.The problem is much deeper than that. You have insatiable greed mongers, incompetence and a lot of unethical peeps out there in the pharmaceutical, medical, chemical and legal fields helping along the mess. Until those things all are reformed a lot of people are stuck and sick on top of all of it unless they can educate themselves and rise above it all somehow.
I don't give a shit if some people are stuck. That is their problem, not mine. It should not be my responsibility to pay their health care bills. It is their responsibility.
If the filthy ass oppressive government forces me to give my hard earned money to pay somebody else bills then by god that is slavery and it is despicable.

Where did I label "white males" as being the only problem? Read that post again.

They spend your money and then call you a evil white devil. Have a rap sheet longer than their arm by the time they get out of High School where they learn nothing of value or anything that can help get them a job like some kind of marketable skill...thus huge,huge numbers of them are unemployable.
They feel they are entitled to your hard earned wages because their great,great,great grand daddy was a slave.
Let us look at some more truths because the truth can help set us free.
.
First, of the estimated 12,000,000 blacks who were brought to the Western Hemisphere, only some 500,000 were brought to what became the United States—about 5 percent. It was not necessary to import more than that because slave population grew naturally. Whereas most American slaves died of old age, life expectancy on a Caribbean sugar plantation was often seven to nine years. Many owners in South America also worked their slaves to death.
Muslims imported more black slaves to the Middle East and over a longer period than North Americans did, but there are few blacks in the region today. That is because Muslims frequently castrated slaves, and when Muslim owners impregnated black concubines, they often killed the babies.
Only 6 percent of Southerners owned slaves, and half of the owners had five or fewer. Only a small number of Southerners were slaveholders because, just prior to the Civil War, the purchase price of a slave was about $23,000 in today’s dollars. A slave with artisan skills could cost up to the equivalent of $56,700. Thus Whites had a huge,huge incentive to keep their expensive “property” healthy.
On small farms, whites usually worked alongside their slaves and there were cordial relations between the races. Before the future President Andrew Jackson built his mansion called The Hermitage, he and his slaves lived in modest quarters just 30 or 40 feet apart.
There were several routes to freedom for black slaves, and the 1860 census counted 224,963 free blacks living in the South (6 percent of all Southern blacks). Why didn’t they move to the North, where there were also communities of free blacks? Presumably, because free blacks could live comfortably in the Antebellum South.

When we consider the lives of American slaves, we must compare them with contemporary historical standards, not current ideals. In 1842, a German visitor to Manchester, England, noted that he had seen so many people missing limbs from industrial accidents that it was like, “living in the midst of the army just returned from a campaign.”
In the industrializing American Northeast in 1820, children aged 15 and under made up 23 percent of the largely white labor force. They frequently worked 12 to 14 hours a day. Over 50 percent worked in what we would consider hazardous conditions, and both boys and girls in factories were subject to beatings and other cruel treatment. The horrors in mines were notorious.
Yes, the white child was free and the black child was not, but for many American children, it was better to be a slave.
It is therefore not surprising that one ex-slave told interviewers, “In slavery times, a poor white man was worse off than a ******.” “I’d rather be a ****** than a poor white man” was a common saying among slaves. The majority of elderly ex-slaves interviewed in the 1930s did not find slavery that onerous, and many were nostalgic for the slave era. As for breaking up families, slave families were largely intact. [xix] They were certainly more intact than in modern America.
The Middle Passage was horrific, but ocean voyages were dangerous for everyone. Comparable percentages of slaves and white crewmembers died during the trip. Africans—not whites—captured virtually every slave sold to the New World, and slavery ended in Africa only because of the efforts of abolitionist whites. Slavery has been a nearly universal practice and continues in remote corners of the Muslim world today. The West is special only in that it came to the unprecedented conclusion that slavery was immoral, and put an end to it.
An accurate understanding of the past is an essential part of our reawakening.
