Do these terrible coal mines still exist? "employing" enemies of a certain President perhaps?

In one respect, at least they get premium patriotic food. In the coal mines of Great Britain, it was the same situation, but without food or any kind of shelter. Children were sent down the mine as soon as they were old enough to throw pieces of coal into a bucket. Their only crime was being born poor. The trick was earning enough to buy some food for the day---something that rarely happened.

I pick on Great Britain, but it wasn't just them. It happened everywhere, and still happens today in countries that do not control how the rich treat their employees.
