Whoops, you forgot to mention that this is also what railroading was like before HR departments, diversity quotas for females and the unfettered computerization and automation of nearly every job seen in this video except trainmen.

Isn't more regulation and less freedom to f*ck up the very definition of fascism?

I have shown this video to many people, asking them to count the number of men with good jobs seen in the Fresno office/depot. All of those families that had roofs over their heads, food in their bellies and college degrees in their future. Today you'd see an office full of computers and 3-5 women who don't work as efficiently or independently as their male counterparts, who need a plethora of days off and special treatment at company expense. Today, the men in the video would either be working lower paying jobs with no benefits, have to move somewhere far and cheap or would be homeless and/or committing suicide. Meanwhile the fat, non-net taxpaying women will sit there on their phones on company time asking "where's all the good men" while complaining abut how said men ain't sh*t.
