Yeah they did some sick earthbending.
>>2007021
Rockefeller was a dick
>>2007021
Shit load of people from different creeds, colours and political views did it.
I'd wish that some people would stop demoninsing white people though and holding them all accountable for horrible shit done over 200 years ago. It was a different time and people didn't know better.
Jews are who built america, whites were just good goy slaves
how dare you imply white people contributed anything to the world other than death and destruction
No, America is a continent, duh.
You can't build land.

Blacks, Chinese and Irish.

Ford was literally a Nazi.
>>2007288
Yeah, but they still benefit from all the horrible shit done over 200 years ago.
>>2007388
Dubs confirm. Whites too.
>>2007393
The Irish are white.
>>2007393
and natives
>>2007395

>Ford
>hates the jews and their jewish ways
>shows them by making a company that actually had good working conditions and pay
back when anti-Semitic actually meant something
>>2007414
Whiter than """white""" Americans.

They definitely put America on the way to becoming a superpower, but even the Great Man theory had its limits. Personally I'd say the remains of English Bureaucracy is what made it so great.

>>2007744
well it's what the doc said
>>2007021
they built a little at the start of their careers, though later in their career some were guilty of crony capitalism which may have held back development

>At first the five-day workweek was common in only three industries: the needle trade, building construction, and printing and publishing. In a few isolated cases employers voluntarily adopted the five-day week.
>The earliest and most notable of these was, curiously enough, Henry Ford, a staunch anti-unionist. In 1914 Ford reduced the daily hours in his plant from nine to eight; in 1926 he announced that henceforth his factories would also be closed all day Saturday.
>His rationale was that an increase in leisure time would support an increase in consumer spending, not least on automobiles and automobile travel. This was a prescient view, for the weekend did indeed become associated with outings and pleasure trips. But in 1926 that was still in the future, and Ford was alone among businessmen in espousing the weekend. He was roundly criticized by U.S. Steel, Westinghouse, and the National Association of Manufacturers.

Sad and funny, one can build a great enterprise that brings new jobs, but then looking for a quick buck he crashes the market, or creates a monopoly.
What the fuck does it mean to build America?
the proletariat built America

Wouldn't this have literally been anti-union because then the workers would've been paid less?
>>2008695
the proletariat could have just as easily built pyramids, the proletariat are stupid and need bourgeois capitalists to instruct them
