You must understand down in the GOM it’s the plantation mentality. I grew up in it and thought it was normal until I left that part of the country and found things were much different in other parts of the USA… Companies still made money and people still worked too ! Then as I worked around the world I became even more enlightened. Other countries have companies that make nice profits and have strong labor laws at the same time. Consequently I have been amazed for years at the crap US workers put up with and consider normal. Perhaps if the USA was not, for all practical purposes an island, people would think differently.
