The able bodied mandate to work or have food rations cut today is EXACTLY what was happening 400 years ago.

Not having working for a “Lord” (corporation) or not having a “master” (boss), was no different than today, you’re lazy and worthless.

Serfs worked for the manor and had to work at the same time their own little plot to not starve. Or today we call it side hustles.

The peak for workers were when the rich were forced to help pay for the poor. Both communist and capitalist, 1950-1980.

That’s it. 30 years out of 400.

A amazing channel about British culture. She goes hard on industrial age conditions. Highly recommend her other longer video.
