        After the Great Depression happened the largest wave of worker protections and regulations were passed in US history.

            I was simply adding to what you said, that it was all avoidable if so many Americans weren’t morons

      It is also treason to tell an angry armed mob to go to the capitol and fight fight fight but look at all those harsh penalties he got for that
