I'm reading ch 10 of Capital and it has extensive references to reports written by English factory inspectors. It's not encouraging to see what kind of deprivation the capitalists know you can survive for long enough to provide them a profit.

Also, she's talking about 34 million people. That's 10 percent of the population she wants to displace out of spite and to distract the working class from the rich people pillaging their communities. Are these 34 million all adults even? Is this a number with any basis in reality? How many people are on medicaid anyways? It's a bad look for capitalism that this many people rely on this last resort option to access healthcare.

Yeah, the part where one of the key reasons behind the barest reforms was that their own militaries were becoming sickly, stunted, and weak... with drone weapons you have an excuse (albeit deeply flawed) to not even care about that!

Damn. I didn't think of that.
