The rich forgot that before worker's rights existed, greedy capitalists who owned factories and treated their workers horribly during the industrial revolutions would either find their factories or their homes burnt down, and themselves beaten to death in front of their own families.
Unions and worker's rights were the compromise to avoid this from happening. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and the rich clearly didn't.
I do worry that they are expecting it in some way. The few "smart" ones. The ones that are not flagrant with their funds and likes. The ones that don't donate but hold hatred in their hearts. I worry about those. I wonder if they will slip out of the grasp of justice because they decided to hide in their money bushes and stay quiet.
But yes, the fools that we see in the news for sure have forgotten.
