If you have a shirtwaist you can fold it into a triangle and try to glide to safety as you escape the factory.

We don’t make shirtwaists any more, so locking workers in factories is now perfectly safe! (And they say we don’t learn from history.)

If they can't ever go home, they'll have no choice but to keep working! Just think of the profits... ONLY think of the profits

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
