DLine06 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There are actually harder jobs than picking cotton Yeah, they were hard to the whip :P All honesty, today's economy is so sad. Having managed, I could tell you hard work to me is not the same as people 5 years younger than me. I grew up under an old school mentality of what it meant for hard work as well as Loyalty. Today's age, companies value a person's value, to do more with way less. Corporate execs do NOT value hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogzSuperFan Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yep Okay. Just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to compare free and paid workers with human chattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarthDawg77 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Okay. Just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to compare free and paid workers with human chattle.Nah, but just for clarification, back then the choices were eat or starve, so, while not as harsh as slavery, like slavery, there wasn't a whole lot of options.

RETIREDFAN1 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Okay. Just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to compare free and paid workers with human chattle. those free and paid workers (meaning ALL of us) are considered nothing more than chattle by the people who really control things.......
