You're right, but you're probably wasting your breath. They never learned about 5 1/2-day 10-hour workweeks. They never learned about child labor. They never learned about silicosis for mine workers, byssinosis for textile workers, tuberculosis for city dwellers, on the job injuries and deaths for farm workers and industrial workers, hard work, low pay, early death. They don't know what the literacy rate was in 1913. They don't know how few men actually lived to age 65 when Social Security was enacted.

If they wanted to know, they'd probably already know by now.

Anyway, what difference does it make? The important thing is what we face going forward.
