Why do I bother?

No OHSA, no pollution regulations, no limits on working hours

Those, for example, would have impeded refinements in the use of scarce resources that have alternative uses that made subsequent delightful improvements possible.

At that stage of capital development child labor was necessary for the little bastards to survive. I've had two friends who had to hit the road young, one at twelve, the other at fourteen when FDR had the reins. Their families couldn't feed them and they had no choice. Their chances were better that existed a generation or three prior.

In the comforts of present circumstances, built on efforts of preceding generations, the simple can't grasp how far we came, nor how it happened. Hint: it was from the unknowable complexities in chains of human action, not legislation emanating from the vile and stupid.
