I read the one about railroads and the one about inventions.
In the one about railroads I found it interesting the change in 30 years, and also, later, different companies were able to use the same railroads. Leading to good being transported even faster. Like new inventions.
However, It also makes me wonder why different companies weren’t allowed to use the railroads.

Im concerned by child labor; Even in the United States. While children and Women worked too, they got payed less than average. What happened to that old sayin people used back then that was about women and children first? Im not saying they should be treated like queens or little tyrants, but its stupid that one gender makes the money, while his wife and kids have to support him. It’s all just a Sexist and Ageist monopoly game.

Another thing i found interesting was that Edison actually invented stuff rather than stealing peoples ideas.

Immigrants and women during the early 1900s were put to work. They were almost slaves, as the only forms of freedom they had were low paying jobs. Immigrant labor, for the wealthy folk (who owned the U.S. steel and Standard Oil and Mining companies)  was good because they would be able to hire more people for lower prices; as those immigrants were probably facing poverty anyway. The working conditions at the time were pretty bad too.

A question i have is were there automobiles before airplanes that the chart didn't show?
