Federal agents found more than two dozen minors illegally working inside a poultry plant in Kidron, Ohio, earlier this month, according to local immigration advocates who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

The children, mainly from Guatemala, according to the advocates, were working in meat processing and sanitation in a plant run by Gerber’s Poultry, which produces Amish Farm Chicken, advertised with the slogan “Better feed, better taste.”

    The sequel is always a bit different than the original, right?

    The original Gilded Age is also created due to advancements in technologies as a culmination of the Second Industrial Revolution: new methods of transportation from railroad and airplanes, as well as in communication from the invention of the telephone, which of course, would be the device of “distraction” as you described during its time.

    I still think there is some kind of economic growth but it is not to the people and more concentrated to a few individuals and companies.

    Do you not think that the Bezos and Musks are as the Rockerfellers and Vanderbilts, the robber barons of our age?

    Of course, the issue I care about in particular: the labor strikes and fight for equality was never as great now as it was since the Gilded Age. The similarity here is eerie.

    Please don’t call manual laboring workers “unskilled” and disrespect their work: everyone has their role to play in the world, and if you sit in front of a computer all day for your job, then I doubt you would have the skills to do construction work.

      I am not going to dive into the semantics of what a Gilded Age is. As far as we know there is a loss of world wide knowledge from the rampant misinformation. Something that does not have a real solution and can be mitigated at times.

      oh not necessary to slam words into my mouth. The real unskilled labor are those that requires relatively little or no training or experience. Even then there are people out there who are not as highly trained as a true professional who are bluffing their skill level. There is plenty of memes about managers or executives being stupid jerks. It is not really hard to find someone who was hired because they were cheap to hire, hence the outsourcing and passing the risk to someone else.
