As a former punk kid, very aware of the machinery of capitalism being oiled with the blood of the workers.

I had no clue about the origin of Labor Day and always just thought of it as a day off. Looking it up now, that seems pretty much correct. Some "activists" decided that a day off would be cool so they made it happen.

I like it.

New York City, 1882.

Central Labor Union and Knights of Labor came together, something like 10,000 of them decided going to work was asking too much so they just had a parade instead. Stick it to The Man...I guess.

I can relate.

It might be their gene pool, puddle, or drip.

The guys who carry weapons "to protect their families" seem to be the same ones who demean the teachers they leave their families with 200 days each year. I find that odd.
