Wrong. ↑ This is propaganda from the radical leftist Biden regime.

The government and businesses made reforms so that capitalism doesn’t do that anymore. Imagine what kind of hellscape this place’d be if they hadn’t changed when they realized how much human suffering and planetary destruction they were about to cause lmao.

Editing to add that this is sarcasm. Can you imagine “radical leftist Biden”? 😂

Right, also the 40 hour work week and two day weekend happened because capitalists, from the bottom of their hearts, decided to give those things to the workers.

Why can't people understand how much they really care about us and the planet?

Looks inside.

Finds planetary destruction and human suffering.
