    How do you think we ended up with a weekend, overtime and the right for woman to vote?

    The greatest generation striked, fought and died against the capitalist billionaire oligarchs and monarchs to get it.

      …women got the right to vote in Australia over 20 years before my GG grandma was born…

      You’re assuming everyone here is American to the point of using an acronym like FDR. I know who you’re talking about but still

      edit: the person who you’re responding to is Australian based on their instance and I’m Canadian

        Valid point, thank you.

        With many things, most of the western world tends to track the trends that the US is doing. (Something I hope Trump cures people from)

        I am South African myself, so I should be clear in my language.

        Did we?

        The person they’re responding to should choose their words more carefully, then.
