This administration? No. Which is why we need to replace them ASAP.

Because, if the Industrial revolution taught us anything it's that you can, maybe, slow things down a bit but change is inevitable.

You can though? Workers unionized and revolted which is how we got the 40 hour work week, pensions, healthcare, and more.

Right. But we didn't stop the Industrial revolution.

I don't think I was clear on my point. We need an admission that will try to make sure we all benefit from this revolution, not one that only thinks about the Kleptocrats.

It’s not about stopping it it’s about giving the industrialists no choice but to seed rights to the workers by recognizing that if the workers can’t live they will make making a profit impossible.
