You understand it's the right pushing for this, not the left, correct?
You understand you're not on the left, right?
You understand you have no idea what my beliefs are, right?
Sure go on then, what are your beliefs around business owners who operate plants where teenagers lose their hands?
You've already demonstrated such thorough ignorance about basic politics that I do in fact know for sure you're not a leftist.
Executive order banning all forms of child labor when?
they have to check with the senate parliamentarian to see if such a thing can be proposed during this phase of the moon, or if acting to quickly to prevent children from being maimed by bosses for money would violate norms and rules. our government is far too complex of a machine to do anything quickly, except send several billion dollars of cluster bombs anywhere on the planet in 36 hours.
i'm sure someone is working on a subsidized loan so that the kid can purchase a new hand using his HSA and that he loan will be forgiven if he starts a small business in an underserved community and maintains operations for 3 years.
Well, no, but his mom did set up a gofundme to aquire him a hook as he is no longer able to pull himself up by his boot straps. At present the total sits at $4.20 one of his friends put in there. He will be able to collect disability provided he participates in all degrading means tests and doesn't make too much supplementary income. We wouldn't want him living too well after all.
AmeriKKKa doesn't have a left in its political system, only right and far right. Anywhere else in the world, liberalism is correctly viewed as the capital-serving, people-maiming right-wing ideology it is. Give it less than a decade and the GOP will have made "child labor in sawmills, mines and slaughterhouses is cool and good, actually" a bipartisan stance, just as they have normalized torture at blacksites, dronestriking civilians abroad, unprecedented mass surveilance on a scale never before known to man and internment camps on the border. You liberals have accepted all of these as the new status quo, you will do the same with child labor, as is evidenced by the fact that there is zero pushback against this from Democrats on the federal level. They're just waiting until people get used to the latest atrocity, like they always do.
Ahem.
“It’s fine to kill random people in sovereign countries if I have the veneer of the military industrial complex, but consequences for the powerful abusing their power to exploit is where I draw the line. You do realize that we can enact strict regulations to stop them, right?”
For the record, the death penalty probably wouldn’t even happen in this case. So we get another instance of someone crying about a hypothetical they made up
What no analysis of material conditions does to a mf
Did you ever consider the possibility that the right can have the correct take on things, albeit for extremely deluded reasons
