What comes around...
Ah the lower East Side of NYC. Now a fashionable district for Japanese NYU students. Before that, punkrock heaven. Before that, hippy heaven. Before that, Puerto Rican slums. Before that, Jewish and other Eastern European slums... where new immigrants came to work their way out of the slums. Often they joined unions to help each other pull themselves out of the LES muck. They lived in tenements... in squalid conditions.

How tempting for the poor... and why not? The poor will be the guinea pigs for the rich. New drugs? Test 'em on welfare kids! Put those lazy bums to work!
