I’m trying to ignore this ridiculous video I should be watching for economics, so I’m going to do 25 facts about myself. First… rant about the video. It’s really pissing me off how I’m getting extra credit for a quiz over this 6 hour video series about how great the free market system is. Not my opinion. The first thing they were saying was how great the economy was for everyone in the 1900’s. Thats just stupid. The conditions were good for the rich few, while the rest and majority of people were forced to work in awful conditions, many would die at work because of poor working conditions, and even being locked in their factories and dying of fires. Example, the triangle shirt waist fire. Like 40? people died in that. But you know, according to this video, that’s how things should be now. As little regualtion as possible. I guess I’m not getting quizzed on the debate so I’ll stop here.
