I'm not sure why anyone bothers with Snopes these days. They've become just as lazy as many of the sites they supposedly critique. This article (listicle really since they're just aggregating these other sources and putting a stamp on it) "confirms" > a brief history of capitalists complaining that nobody wants to work for starvation wages. by providing references to quotes from a pastor, a home owner, a few small business owners, a former labourer, and farmers. If these are the evil capitalists that socialists are railing against then I think they'll have a hard time recruiting.

Right, as I said in a separate post. They used to be sort of a fun Mythbusters for the Web. Now they're just a site trolling for clicks from left-wing users.

> They've become just as lazy Well, in this particular case, they seem to have expended a lot of effort to painstakingly search newspaper archive to support a meme posted by... "the Great Socialist Cat Memes Facebook page". I'm not sure they're necessarily lazy, they're just suspiciously specific about where they're willing to put in any effort.
