No, I'm not but I consider still worker's rights as gains to be kept. I remember the generation of my grandparents who hadn't got those and they had to work till they dropped. Why is Saturday a work free day, I hear people say, why can't it go back to the single free day a week? For Christians that means then that the Lord's day won't be His any more, because either society or even work will demand us to do the necessary preparation for work even on that Sunday. You have your reading club on a Sunday, of course, because Saturday goes to playing football or tennis or golf. No, there's more to this all than people think there is. Someone like Bernie will never gain power but he's for sure without reason used as a scarecrow

@val70 read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and look at the history of the union movement to see that thousands of lives have been improved and or saved by occupational health and safety rules. There are these and others that really should be centerpieces for social liberalism.

@val70 are you using the correct term by using lower case democratic?
