Third Teen Worker Killed In Industrial Accident As States Try To Loosen Child Labor Laws

Pro life until they can be pro teens dying for cooperate profit.

Ribbit

Who in their right fucking mind thinks letting teenagers work at landfills, meat processing plants, and logging companies is a good idea?! I think the record clearly shows that teenagers don’t always make the best damn decisions. Jesus wept this shit is insanity.

Take a bow conservatives… you made this happen.

Well we obviously don't care about kids getting shot up in schools, so why the hell would we care about them getting killed on the job?

This is what lack of unions gets you.

The "pro-life" party strikes again.

Every time I think that the US is a civilized "first world" country, they find a way to remind me of the reality. It really is shocking how backwards some things are in certain states.

Hope you get a federal law to prevent similar accidents in the future...

This is what libertarian politics enables. If they get their way, they'll all be snorting coke off the back of their 13-year-old wives while letting their 10-year-old children do all their work for them.

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.

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

Everyone who works in any kind of hazardous environment should watch this. Don't shake hands with danger folks. You have the right to refuse to do something you feel unsafe doing. Your life and limb are not worth it. Take your safety protocols seriously and don't let stupid people teach you to be complacent. Call out others. Turn those assholes in to OSHA, underfunded as they are.

Yo, America. What the fuck are you guys doing over there?

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.

For the dam time the gop does not care about protecting kids. It has never been about the kids it has always and will always be about hating the lgbtq community and non-whites.

For the last dam time part 2 electric boogaloo there is no shortage of people wanting to work. There is a shortage of pay! You pay people a real living wage and healthcare and you will have tons of people will be lining up to work.

A lot of republicans consider dying in a farm accident at the age of 14 to be a rite of passage into adulthood.

Holy fuck

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.

This is what degeneracy looks like.

Geriatric cucks permitting kids working for the holy profit... FEMA camps staffed by Obama death panels...
