>Life expectancy for a working-class city dweller was under 40 years old. One in four children died before age five.>Entire families were routinely crammed into single, unheated rooms in damp basements, sharing an outdoor privy with dozens of neighbors. Water supplies were routinely contaminated with human waste and cholera.I was reading up on the Victorian era and it baffled me that any retards on this board constantly VGH about the "good old days", just because niggers couldn't ride the bus back then or something. American worker protections are still pretty flimsy compared to other developed nations so I'm curious about whether or not things have been better elsewhere.

>>18547919I can assure you that nobody is referring to the working conditions of the Victorian era when they're talking about the good old days.
>>18547930>doors dont even fit flush against each other on the cop car so this is the power of the workers paradise
>>18547919Generally the best time was from 1950-1970, the "golden age of capitalism" of the post war boom
>>18548023It might not look pretty but it got the job done.Meanwhile the cyber truck, a product (heh) of pure capitalist "innovation" looks ugly as sin and has a load of functional problems>The Cybertruck's angular design and stiff stainless-steel exterior raised concerns among safety experts that it could hurt pedestrians and cyclists and damage other vehicles on roads. Particular concerns were raised about the high stiffness of the "exoskeleton" exterior, potentially reducing crumple zones. The tall, flat front of the truck may increase the severity of injuries to the legs of pedestrians. Vehicle design experts speculated that it would fail to pass safety testing in various countries, including Australia, due to the risk it poses to both occupants and people outside of the vehicle, especially pedestrians. As of 2025, the Cybertruck is not allowed on roads in the United Kingdom due to safety concerns, and does not meet European Union pedestrian safety standards as a type, although registrations may be individually accepted. Tesla defended the design, saying that the structures of the Cybertruck would absorb an impact during a crash, and pointing out that it passed a U.S. regulatory review, although they also admitted that it would be very hard to meet European Union pedestrian safety laws.>Cybertruck doors are only electrically operated, so in case of accident or malfunction it may lock occupants inside, preventing others from saving the occupants. This is made worse because the windows are intentionally designed to be shatter proof and smash resistant. On August 5, 2024, Michael Sheehan was burned to death in a Cybertruck following a fire which reached temperatures of 5,000 °F (2,800 °C) caused by thermal runaway of its battery, following a collision in Baytown, Texas.
