re: #333 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

My mom got screwed out of her widow’s pension from US Steel when my dad died. If not for Social Security (and a job she had selling used furniture and appliances that paid cash under the table) we would have been out on the street.

She later found out about a class action suit and received a lump-sum and a small monthly amount from it, but that was only a patch on the money we needed in 1967.

That episode taught me a lot about just how far we can trust our vaunted American Captains of Industry.

But the libertarians say the free market and access to the legal system makes it fair for everyone
