Transnational Corporations treat people like

[.... callchet ....]

butchers treat chickens in a chicken coop. They work the dad in a family until he dies at 35 and then they work his kids. They don't have to worry about health care or retirement or schools or anything. Somebody please show me that I am wrong.

Are you familiar with the Builtmore in Asheville. The Vanderbilts built a city to supply workers for the house.

2. Was a futile stab at sarcasm

Built more . They changed the sheets on 100 rooms everyday, whether used or not. Did give work to the servants tho !

4. I really looked at that house when I was there.

It would cost a billion dollars to build that house now, if you could even find craftsmen to do that kind of work. The crown molding around the rooms was hand made and at every corner the meeting pieces were perfectly symmetrical. I was in one of the top floor rooms and I looked at a very obscure window an saw a stone carving on a gable that you could hardly see and it was in the same detail and perfect craftsmanship as the rest of the house.

5. We drove by it on a family trip to FLorida. Didn't stop in. Didn't know it was a

Vanderbuilt house. But yeah.. corporations were horrible at the time. Some of them have not improved.
