It has been that way from the first, it appears. You'd think someone was trying to murder the people in charge by asking to do the work to earn and keep a job and even, heaven forbid, expect a salary.

After listening to the example of the man who applied to work for a bank and was offered a porter's job.

The thought occurred to me that it would be cool sometime if, when an employer told a worker to go get something and bring it to him, the worker would say, "go get it, yourself!" It would almost be worth getting fired! I'm not so sure it wouldn't have gotten people beaten, in earlier times.

I appreciate your posting of this short video. So many people struggled such a long time to get this far, and there's still a lot more ahead until the lunatics aren't in charge of the asylum.

Thanks, malaise.

Some of them learned the hard way when they treated domestic help/gardeners/etc in that way.
