Chapter 200:
Nail and his companions gathered in a relatively secluded small park, each holding a bottle of beer in one hand and a large fried chicken burger in the other.
These were the reasons they came here: free beer and free fried chicken burgers.
This seemingly unhealthy diet was exactly what the working class favored. They liked this high-calorie food and needed the energy to fill their bodies after a day's work.
At this moment, such food had even greater appeal to them. After everyone lost their jobs, everything changed. Their families rarely bought food anymore, choosing to save money for emergencies instead.
The food stamps issued by the city hall provided them with enough food for daily life. Though it wouldn't starve them, they certainly missed these flavors.
A man standing in the crowd was loudly preaching seemingly profound truths, saying they must take back what they lost with their own hands. The factory owners who exploited them every day should now return the money they squeezed from them.
They didn't want to do anything terrible, but society had reached a dangerous edge. Workers and factory owners should be united.
In the past, they always endured the exploitation and oppression of the factory owners, but now the factory owners should help them so that everyone could get through this difficult time together, not just kick them out.
The man also gave examples, such as in some northern industrial cities where even if the factories were not in operation, the owners would still pay the workers minimum wages to help them through the current difficulties.
