In China today workers work over 60 hours a week. Some have 24 hour shifts. Working conditions over there are terrible. These people work for less and live horribly. They have 20 people sharing 3 tiny apartment complex rooms. These workers are barely fed. How can you just be fed a biscuit and tea?
Andrew Carnegie's steel mills were basically the same. This man worked his employees to death and hardly ever paid them. Some one was always at there death in those mills. Safety was a big issue. There "protective gear" consisted only of two layers of wool long johns. Definitely not enough protection if you are working around high flames, breaking chains, and tired as ever.
These workers work to create something so efficient, but receive less than what they should. But I guess some people have to go through hard times to set themselves at a successful position in their lives.
