It’s weekends and holidays, child labor, and workers compensation
Centrists like to think they made all those things happen and their existence is proof that triangulation on every issue works.
The history of workers comp is pretty interesting if you havent read it yet:
Damn, the pivot from comrad to capitalist hit like a brick wall. The last few paragraph shills about how amazing is.
General start vibe:
In order to recruit crew members, each shipmate was guaranteed payment of pieces of eight for various body parts lost during their dangerous trade. Injuries at sea ranged from 100 pieces of eight for the loss of a finger or eye, 400 for loss of a left leg, 500 for a right leg, and 600 pieces of eight for the loss of a right arm. Since 100 pieces of eight was the equivalent of most colonial American wages in a year, the amount could add up to the equivalent of 6 years of lost salary.
To juxtapose:
For instance, the loss of a thumb in South Dakota entitles any worker to 50 weeks of compensation regardless of his/her disability.
Pirates swabbing the deck got 6 times more for losing a foot than an American today losing a thumb. But this fucking closer:
Texas has one of the nation’s leading economies and continues to draw new businesses and workers from across the nation, and the choice many employers have made of utilizing the innovative injury benefit program has been a win-win scenario for both employers and their employees.
Had to double check the author from the recoil:
Jeff Pettegrew is the Chief Policy Officer of ARAWC, a renowned insurance industry thought leader, risk manager, and CEO for over 35 years specializing in workers’ compensation.
So I just google “ARAWC” and the first thing that pops up is:
The ARAWC (Association for Responsible Alternatives to Workers’ Compensation), a lobbying group financed by almost two dozen major corporations including Walmart, Lowes, Macys and Kohls are working to make it harder for injured workers to obtain lost wages and medical care.
