It's hard to believe how different life was for people before the unions fought for fair wages and a 40 hour workweek. There were fair and generous employers but they weren't the norm.

I don't have my ears to the tracks anymore when it comes to the Hive-drama but I've seen skirmishes here and there over the last few months that make me feel uneasy. The vibe is reminiscent of the year leading up to the Steemit hardfork. If we could, somehow, move beyond that as a platform I think this place could be great for the majority of users. The framework is already here and it's proven to work if we could just move forward with enough unity and consensus that the platform isn't driven off the rails again. I prefer the perfect omelette to scrambled eggs. : )
