Look, we know that people die in industrial accidents. Much more people die in them than these 3 every year. But not letting children work is kind of when Nazis segregated the Jews and made them poor. Maybe if we had industrial accident prevention in our schools this wouldn’t happen.
No offense to anyone, but “the country” is an abstraction they doesn’t exist.
But helll yeah this country, it’s people and institutions, know what the effects of labor laws do.
Most – all? – large pools of money are right wing and exploitive. Can anyone think of a major for profit, traded corporation, that isn’t?
So yeah you me and everyone we know knows putting kids im dangerous jobs is fkn mean.
Money says, “what are you gonna do about it?”
We need to find ways. Unions are a big one.
This is what sickens me about America.
This country knows full well, what the right solutions are. We prop them on it’s table every damn day. What does America do? Always going the opposite direction.
We worried about AI taking over jobs. It’s happened and continues to happen, so we propped up UBI. America? “Naw, nah…no, you don’t need that! Here, little Jack over there? Your boy right? Why, he’s got too much time on his hands and plays too much video games. Now he needs to have a job. You’ll let him get a job, won’t you? If we lighten child labor laws some.”
Fucking sickening, this country.
This country knows full well
This is the paradox. Are you sure this country knows? Why is the overwhelming majority in favor of capitalistic approaches which lead us exactly here? I don’t think the country does know. Not really.
The “pro-life” party strikes again.
They wanted to keep the kids alive so they could kill them. Must be more satisfying for them I guess.
