There’s pictures of children in the Coal Breakers. Missing hands. That worked back breaking labor sorting coal from my home town. It’s disgusting what people did to their children for money. Coal fields buried many children.

I would rather mine Kentucky coal instead of Anthracite coal from my region in Pennsylvania. Anthracite mines are an entirely different way of mining. There’s a documentary I’ll look for on YouTube where the mine operator kills hi self after his cousin and nephews die in a collapse.

Charles Bronson grew up in a coal mining town. Even though everyone worked their asses off, still so poor he sometimes had to wear his sister’s dress to school!
MAGA would have him arrested for that!

They would make dresses and clothing from flour bags. Flour companies recognized this and started shipping colorful bags for mothers to use.

They kind of had to otherwise the entire family would starve. It’s fucked up, but right now the only reason I am stay afloat is because I live alone in a one room studio apartment with a communal bathroom. My mental health is kind of going to shit, but at least I get to eat.
