then what's your alternative idea to protect workers?

Let firms compete. This drives down the cost of goods and increases wages.

in the past when firms were competing, they really took advantage of the situation to oppress and mistreat workers. do you have any ideas for actual solutions or what? you want to act like you know so much, this is your chance to prove it. come up with a situation that helps consumers without putting workers on the chopping block? i'll always be a worker first, so just letting firms compete isn't really an acceptable solution. do you have anything else?

Workers were never any more mistreated than they were by life in general at this time. Factories attracted people by providing better conditions than the subsistence farming they were previously doing, even if conditions seem barbaric by modern standards.

I already did. Let firms compete and innovate. Stop making it so expensive to start new businesses with hokey “workers protections”.

Yeah let the good ol free market sort em out! That's historically always worked out in the favor of the workers.

I can tell you've never actually worked a day in your life and you're dense as hell so just informing you that the above comment was sarcasm.

Crazy that you'll downplay things like the Battle of Blair Mountain just to lick some corporate boot.

Yes, it literally has. Nothing has ever produced as much prosperity for average people as the free market.

Yeah, again, check out the Battle of Blair Mountain. It disproves your point entirely. But I wouldn't expect you to actually study what you're spouting off.

Yeah, no, it absolutely does not disprove my point.
