I've been yelling at the tv: "Do you WANT guillotines?! Because this is how you GET guillotines."

And I remember being *stunned* to find out, at about 10 years old, the conditions my great grand parents & grand parents worked under!

No way to know what random folks on the net know or don't know.... I've seen/heard inquiries i was SURE were jokes, that turned out to be "no really, I'm asking for real!"
Once upon a time I wondered what folks did pre-plastic wrap and refrigeration!

Because too often when learning history it's focused on White folks and their achievements, while everyone else gets downplayed.
Leading to attitudes that nobody else has achieved anything. (Affecting attitudes carried into the workplace, hiring office, social spaces.)

Often folks had no real breaks and long work days, often taking piecework home. Ate somewhat decently (if lucky) at breakfast and dinner.
Malnutrition in factory workers was common. Not sure about Free farm workers. Enslaved workers often had vitamin deficiencies from chronic malnutrition.

Also it wasn't uncommon for farmer or rancher to halt work for a meal and then feed the crew.
Factories would shut down for lunch (if they had breaks at all) and either go home for meal or eat employer provided cheap shared meal in a communal meal hall.

Prior folks/school.kids just used a bucket or cloth bag/burlap bag. With sandwiches etc just loose or wrapped in cloth (waxed) or waxed paper.
Lunch pail was a container devoted just for carrying lunch/food.

None of the other grocery chains are than blatant and flamboyant, and usually don't bother examining the card, asking for ID (to match) etc.
It's infuriating but my options are limited by time, distance, & worse for those using public transportation.

I don't know if this applies also to WIC, but I've noticed a vast difference between how different grocery chains handle the SNAP cards. One local chain has us slide the card but then have to pass the card to the cashier to "check" EVERY time. So that yeah, everyone knows how you pay.

The only doctors who said "I'll do whatever I can to figure this out and help you." *weren't* the Why-dudes.

And this was even as I was saying "I'm afraid that my pain/fatigue/etc is going to cost me my job."

From. My experience on the *patient* side. I've gotten significantly better care from non-Why or non-male (or both) doctors. This was particularly noticeable as I turned up with chronic illnesses. I've only had the Why-dude doctors accuse me of being "just lazy" or "drug seeking"

Too many Why folks would just say "yep" and go on with their lives.

Increase in domestic violence and SA calls to law enforcement...
Also Grindr crashed due to traffic overload (as in Milwaukee during the GOP convention.)
