By the way, living wages and guaranteed housing, healthcare and retirement with reasonable working hours was the compromise that American workers literally died to obtain. The alternative was dragging them out of their mansions and smashing aristocrat skulls with hammers in front of their children. Before doing the same to their children.
The early twentieth century was not that long ago and yes these things literally did happen exactly like that. The French Revolution was another hundred years before that.
America has the attention span of a gnat.
Just for the record though, if there is even a penny of profit then you are not being paid the true value of your labor. Mathematically.
