I got more education about how terrribly messed up the country is, and has been. Yep, since founding, native Americans and so much more.

In the Depression the corrupt even took runaway kids and put them in 'labor camps' in the US, making turpentine, etc. They exploited and abused them by charging outrageous amts. for bedding, clothing, co. store type stuff. SAMO.

There's an obscure 1930s movie about it (Debt) Slave Boys or something.
