MMM, l am building the case for this: Though we aspire to justice in this country, we built national wealth by exploiting indigenous, immigrant or kidnapped labor. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS. We sorta/kinda try to honor individual rights in the U.S.A. but we no less than others on this planet have sacrifice zones, the boneyards of the discarded workers. Terrifying places. Absolutely heartbreaking and terrible.
I do not agree. The wealth of this nation came after the Civil War with the Industrial Revolution.
What are "sacrifice zones"? Are you defining them as "boneyards of discarded workers"? What do you mean by that?
Workers these days have much better conditions than they did in the past. But we have built up the capital needed to make this happen. Although, there is a myth floating around too, that workers had it much better as farmers before they were enslaved in the horrible, dirty industrial cities. I trust that wasn't what you were referring to.
When you say "We sorta/kinda try to honor individual rights in the U.S.A." what do you mean? What individual rights are denied today?
