You’re being downvoted for being snarky, but it’s actually kinda handy after their comment was removed. Just being able to marvel at the strangeness that once existed.

I’m assuming this is what they are talking about… https://www.politifact.com/article/2009/dec/18/politifact-lie-year-death-panels/

Great article.

I always wonder where these old, repeated lies come from. It’s nice to have the source, and why it was always false, broken down.

You don’t believe in the death panels staffing FEMA camps thing… do you?

Health insurance companies are the death panels.

I have heard from libertarians and conservatives since the 80’s about FEMA camps. Got some vhs tapes in my attic from the mid 80’s detailing the insanity. These people are the terrorists

Yeah, it’s weird how Obama was trying to end the insurance death panel by providing a public alternative and they immediately accused him of providing a death panel. It’s like every accusation is an admission with them.

It seems strange to me that the framing of this is all about child labor laws–no one should have died working at any of these jobs, regardless of age–and OSHA is investigating all three incidents

They are framing it about child labor because a child died.

Who/What agency is investigating the death is not relevant to the fact that a child died while working in an industrial setting.

They are framing it the way they are because they do not think that children, or teens, should be legally able to work in these kinds of settings.

AND 2 other people have been killed at that same damn plant since 2020! How is OSHA not up their ass before this even happened.

They’re wildly underfunded and understaffed.

And when they DO actually try to enforce, there’s generally pressure from the top to “go light” and give the company a chance to amend their procedure (at least until after the next inspection) rather than charging them with manslaughter or whatever.

Part of the reason it that they died is probably related to being young, dumb and inexperienced.

The article points out:

The number of minors employed in violation of child labor laws has increased by 37% within the last year, according to a March report by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute in Washington. The report identified 10 states that have introduced or passed bills within the last two years that would weaken child labor standards.

Adults tend to be less reckless around dangerous equipment, yet companies are increasingly breaking the law hiring underage workers leading to these types of accidents. The article highlights the trend of these inexperienced teenagers being hired to work jobs that have danger closer than they expect, loosening child labour laws a factor among that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
