chuds only believe in forced labor and slavery when it benefits their own dumb creation myths. anything from ~others~ is aliens, but the legal kind

Supposedly the labor mostly came from farmers working in the offseason and they were all paid for their work. I don't know if this is true or not. Roosevelt posted:also over a period of thousands of years with nothing to do but either figure out how to make a square block or get eaten by a crocodile or shot in the rear end by a hittite or something Yeah I think this is the bit that modern audiences don't always realize. 5000 years ago there was not a whole lot of poo poo to do once you'd built yourself a hut and gotten enough food for the day. Might as well spend the next year making some smooth rocks Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Aug 3, 2020 |

Jesus Christ if Tesla doesn’t track the most gullible consumers known to the history of mankind and sell those data to marketers, then I have a great idea on how Elon can make that third tranche
