The person I was replying to was trying to minimize the crap job that Amazon workers were subject to by comparing it to job conditions 100 years earlier. I applied the argument to his example to show how silly it was to dismiss current working conditions like that. What he was doing is the same arguments used for the last 40 years to make our work lives worse and worse. Like I said, it's a race to the bottom mentality. I mean what point do you think he was trying to make? That he respects the hard work steel workers endured? Sure, I guess, but I suspect the overriding narrative he was trying to convey was that Amazon workers ain't got it so tough. They should suck it up. That's how I read it. Remember how Chinese workers were killing themselves in factories and the first counter argument was along the lines of, "their lives were much worse before, they should be thankful for those jobs." Guess who's propaganda that was. Not sure how it was inflammatory but your scolding / virtue signaling wasn't very constructive either, bud.
