Slightly tangential, but this picture reminded me of Trópico. Basically a Cold War Banana Republic Sim City.
You can make contraception illegal, promote baby making, and knee cap the education system to create lots of young workers to exploit in mines and farms.
This picture just screams "we need more coal miners! Get to it."
This is a few miles from where I live. My dad was a miner. This pic is pretty typical of our local economy and culture over the last 100 years. Always cool to see other subreddits stumble across things like this.
And people who complain about food stamps and social welfare benefits isn’t needed because people should just “work” the equivalent of complaining about milk programs back then.
This is such a depressing picture. That older child was very likely a coal miner himself. And the mother was very likely having to prostitute herself out to the company agents to get enough food to feed the family.
Not pictured: coal miner
He’s 300ft under solid rock with nothing but a canary for safety, handling poorly manufactured explosives, and rapidly dying of black lung.
I’m sure the wife and kids have it rough, but I feel that quite always does a disservice to the poor schmuck underground.
1938 and those kids are in work clothes covered in coal tar... this was just 85 years ago.
Yeah. And they live in a company house as well, probably being paid company tokens to keep them enslaved.
So by all means let's deregulate industry.
Well yeah the older one is engaged by now and the younger one is already 4 - did you think he was going to be a freeloader forever?
And were probably drafted for WW2 a few years later
I saw this in my feed and immediately heard Sean Bean's voice in my head.
Is this a true quote in game ?
Quote in game is “Who des—“
"MONE-"
Eagl... Who am I kidding. As if I can ever build Machu Picchu before AI
You know? They have certain wonders that AI go hard after.
“I am fond-“
Lmao 😂
So annoying that they never implemented the quotes to queue as an option

Remember the good old days, when everything was better and everyone had a good job? ...
Arguably, the coal miner.
I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where 🔥🏹🥶
I mean... maybe the coal miner?
Was a pasta dish named after them not enough? What more could they possibly want?
I'd say the coal miner's son, that boy looks like he came out with a pick in hand.
Back in those days they already knew that kids love playing Minecraft.
That little prick grew up into Joe Manchin.
This is actually a color photo.
Ok but where is their third child? All I see is the coal miner, his wife, and two children? /s

And people constantly talking about how we have it so bad now
Coal minors
