Smh, that should have been a good local white boy that got ground up and sold as chicken nuggets obama-sad

Guatemala

AKA just another Westerner. The previous commenter is mistaken. Many Latinos have assured me on this.

if you want to put a 16 year old guatemalan in a meat grinder it'll cost you as much as 1.5 new cars

The only good deterrent would be a death sentence like what China does when their millionaires fuck around and find out

It's like that fine was calculated specifically to make the child labor still worth the price for them.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Breading then frying the factory owners then serving them to the other business owners that use child labor would be a good deterrent.

And then saying fuck it, execute them all anyways

Thought you said breeding, and was wondering if I had left Hexbear all of a sudden.

We should skip the formalities and replace their skin with lemon peel.

The fine should be the total labour produce that the average worker would have created over the remaining years of their working life and every single penny of it should go to the family.

$200k is pathetic, and how much of that goes to the family? The state is responsible for the negligence that allowed this workplace to do this. The state doesn't deserve jack shit.

This is not the price of a human life as you define it, but American government agencies consider the price of a human life to be worth $10M, which is way more than the $200k fine.

GONZALEZ: These are pre-coronavirus numbers. But to convince workers to take this risk, companies have to pay them an extra $400 a year - each of them. So if I accept $400 to take a 1 in 25,000 chance of dying at work, I have revealed, essentially, a value that I put on my own life. And if the group of 25,000 people get $400 each, that's $10 million.

So that is today's value of life - $10 million.

Somewhat better but still not enough. It's not just his life, an entire family has been destroyed for their whole lives too.

"One random C-suit executive is fed into the machine" is the only correct answer.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

1 executive put into the machine for every year was left for that kid's life

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

in China they put hiring managers and owners into prison and even execute them for things like this

[–] Sinistar@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

doomer Through the wisdom of the free market, we have determined the value of a sixteen year old boy is about $212,646.

Someone is going to accidentally eat a dead child that was doing CHILD LABOR and DIED DURING IT and all we’re doing is fining the company that made this happen? For less than Steam loses when they lose a small court case? Fuck this country
