Fucking abysmal. Next they’ll want to put lead back into their gasoline or get rid of seatbelts. The struggle against ignorance and reactionaryism is one that each generation much contend with, no matter how much we wish we could move on from a century old decision and look towards the future.
Nope, we have to convince the fucking rubes that child labor is bad. Maybe there’ll be a factory explosion with all their children in it 🤔

We’d rather put our children to work earlier than open up our borders to hard working adults begging to live and work in this country.

I love how the justification is a “tighter labor market” and not, “People realized that working themselves to death for peanuts isn’t worth it.”
That’s the way to do it, can’t get adults into the sadness mines? Send the kids!

That article goes out of it’s way to call them “young adults” repeatedly. We have a word for undeveloped 16 and 17 year olds: CHILDREN!
