What went so wrong?
Big numbers
What did Henry Ford think would be the downfall of America?
International hyenas
The international kike
Based Henry Ford
Wasn't there a bunch of stuff you needed to do to get the $5 a day? I know you weren't allowed to smoke, not sure about drinking, needed to have a family, and said family was subject to quality inspections.
Now Ford is one of the biggest supporters of left wing policy and think tanks. Like BLM etc they give 100's of millions of dollars to those kind of organizations look it up.
To be fair. Ford was an outlier at the time.
Most places weren't even paying half that, Ford did primarily because his own beliefs made him go "Record profits means we pay the workers more, increase production and lower prices"
This pissed off shareholders leading them to sue him and setting up the precedent set by Ford vs Dodge.
5.00 a day in 1914 is the equivalent of 144.50 a day in 2022 or 18.00 an hour. You’re not even close. Go look up an inflation calculator.
He is using the value of gold rather than stated inflation.
Come on man you should know the way they calculate CPI is a 'basket of goods' whos prices they manipulate
>family was subject to quality inspections
So penis inspection day was really a thing?
I'm a maintenance and janitor by trade. The top medium salary is $18 hr or 35k a year. I hear people who make cars can make over 100k a year.
This was actually fairly common throughout US history with company towns.
They'd typically impose a lot of limits on your personal life.
Six day work weeks were common with sunday only being a day off so you could go to church, which was mandatory if you wanted to be paid for the week.
They'd also impose bans on drinking and other behaviours. Mandating the staff live in provided accommodation which would be run by people who'd spy on the workers habits and conduct.
1/4 troy oz of gold in 1914 = 1/4 troy oz of gold in 2022
$1 USD in 1914 = fuck all in 2022
CPI is a kike trick
Income tax was supposed to be temporary in Canada as well, and it was introduced right around that time. Very close to when the US fed was established. Not hard to figure out what happened.
They should have pushed the cannabis car more.
