An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

It's hard to overstate the impact Taylor had as an AIDS fundraiser. $100 million is an estimate that doesn't include nine-figure bequests to AIDS charities.

Every time I get groceries I am admittedly amazed. The prices just keep climbing especially on the most random shit.

Promising to prosecute these ghouls for war crimes is the bare minimum for any Democrat.
