Yeah that darn minimum wage and pesky anti-slavery laws. Who the heck does the government think it is anyway. And why do responsible drivers need traffic lights.
Don't go away, next up on HN: Long Weekend Edition, we throw back to the 60s and start calling each other commie pinkos. Join us at 4pm for a live reenactment of the McCarthy hearings!
Seriously though, ad hominems aren't cool. Can we keep things at least slightly civil?
The people who made and insured slavery was legal appear on every form of currency in your wallet (except the penny and $5 bill).
The very motive of capitalism is to make as much profit in any way possible. The only thing holding it back is law, which is made by government. The problem is the government which should be run by the people but more often than not is run by lobbyists who are owned by the corporations looking to push for more capitalism.
IIRC, it was the Founding Fathers who were critical in allowing slavery to be legal. I wasn't aware that they were considered to be particularly left-wing.
