What work is. A Labor Day special.
Dreams are what you wake up from. Work is what you do. And if you don’t know work, then nevermind you.
What it is to marry your life to a machine? And if you do, shouldn’t you share in the profit of your labor?

And never forget East Palestine, Ohio. A train, carrying deadly chemicals goes off the track. Instead of spending time and money to clean the wreckage properly, the railroad company pushes to set the chemicals on fire.

Happy Labor Day. And may God bless America.
