And why Mr. Galaxy Brain here doesn’t think it’s slavery when Andy-Pooz does it is probably a combination of convenience and not actually thinking things through in the first place.
ETA: And one of the major things he’s missing with the 1850 comment is that a major part of that wealth expansion was the Gold Rush... somehow I doubt this guy would really be up for that particular kind of work.
Ingar, you want to go back to 1850 for the biggest wealth expansion for white men? Ok, well then you’ll have to find a claim (do you know how and where gold occurs, which minerals it appears in conjunction with, etc?), fight others for it (natives who you’ll be stealing land from and then the white guys who will come along and try to over power you for your claim?) and mine it all yourself. This is in addition to getting food, water, and shelter, which you’ll also have to provide for yourself.
Still want to live in 1850, Ingar?
