“Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies”
"Duvan Tomas Perez, killed working in a poultry plant.
Michael Schuls, killed working at a logging company.
Will Hampton, killed working at a landfill.
This is why child labor laws exist. Companies can’t be allowed to turn to kids when adults refuse to work for poverty wages."
It’s appalling that this is even a question. Children don’t need better terms for working at the abattoir, the garbage dump or the sawmill; they need not to be working in those places.
So true. I can’t fathom why a civilized country would let children do labor. This is some straight up 3rd world shit.
They should allow children to work to get money, if that is the only way to get money. Of course, it would be preferable that no one has to work to survive. Or do you think the government should provide free money only to children?
Some people would argue for UBI for everyone, not just children.
But at least in my experience, children get money as an allowance from their parents, which I suppose is somewhat like UBI.
In any case, children should not need money of their own to survive. Their needs should be provided for by the parents.
The need for capital to find ever cheaper labor to exploit, accelerated by Republicans. I was trying to avoid loaded terms like “civilized” and “third world”, but it does not make the USA look good at all.
