Woah, woah, woah. Here I am just spitting poorly thought out ramblings and you come back with coherent argument! :D

So yes, I totally agree. There is no good old days! Workers were treated like shit. Working in modern day WFH, to put it simply, I'm pampered.

I cite this graph more in context of nobody below a certain age being reasonably able to afford a house (or anything really), unless their parents make the down payment.

"oppression under capital has existed for centuries, not decades.", yes the parallels between today and serfdom are evident, apart from the rather much better living standard (for most of us).

Gold standard sucks, I am just advocating for a new and different system, certainly not an old and worse one!

So I wholeheartedly agree with you.
