So we all know that Amazon wants to make company cities.

And the news keeps treating this as a good idea. Or at least not a horrifying one.

For that reason Im providing you with a history lesson on the Coal Warsa tale of a company town.

You see, in the 1870s and 1880s, companys decided to make company towns.

Now a company town is somewhere where your job controls your job, owns your house, and also owns the stores where you can buy things.

Its all a giant ploy for companys to get back the money they give

But you see, those towns were run by horrible greedy companies whereas these will be run by Amazon!

You missed out on a REALLY important part of the problem. The workers weren't really paid in money, they were paid in a company scrip that was only really valuable at the Company store. Most of their wages weren't real money.
