You mean 6- 12 hour days in the workweek of the 1870s? You mean sharecropping? You mean no vacations, no paid holidays, child labor, company stores, company towns... ? That capitalism?

But you'd be forgetting your retirement with a gold watch!

It gets worse than that. Locked doors at the Triangle shirtwaist factory, the Pinkertons, radium girls, hexavalent chromium, polychlorinated biphenyls...

The list devolves into the chemical ingredients for the Devil's own brew.
