Shorpy Higginbotham, a “greaser” on the tipple at Bessie Mine, of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Co in Alabama. He carries two heavy pails of grease, and is often in danger of being run over by the coal cars. Photographed in December of 1910. [1600 x 1103 px]
Geez, going through WW1 only to return to your old job in the mines to be crushed by a rock.

Look, good ol’ American capitalism. This picture is a reminder that government regulations aren’t all evil. This is what 9/10 companies would do to you without government interference. And these companies fund political campaigns that roll back regulations as kickbacks. I want a president who doesn’t take any money from corporations or superpacs.

I may have gone to daycare with his grand or great grand daughter. I mean, how many Higginbothams can there be?
