The easiest way to make me red with rage, is to show me someone selling out for shamefully low prices. It's not that selling out is ever okay, but at least I could understand why someone would struggle for the big bucks.
In this instance, Gov. Reynolds is selling out child labor protections, and giving corporations IMMUNITY for a MERE $8,000. You can't even GET A DEGREE for that amount.

Well, I remember what it was like being imprisoned in school, starving and still prohibited from work for being too young.
So, obviously I disagree with you there..... But letting kids work 20+ hours in a dangerous places is retarded.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club Kinda weird how you put child labor in parentheses. @gabriel@mk.gabe.rocks
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club Or, quotations, rather. Derp. @gabriel@mk.gabe.rockss
@adiz
Boo hoo.... Teens learning how the world works while also not starving to death.... How horrible.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club How about they don't have to labor in order to not starve to death while figuring out how the world works? 🤔
@adiz
Oh yeah.... the good old let child fill in form A976B and sent it to the ministry of taking too long.
Sure....
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club ? Why are you so for child labor? Lol? All I'm suggesting is no child labor. Chill. 😂
@adiz
Because I don't like starvation. But you're a commie. I wouldn't expect you to understand that. 
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club Why does the alternative to child labor have to be starvation? 😆
@adiz
So, you're just a troll.
Got it. Go fuck yourself, this isn't a fun button to push.
@adiz
I lived in a socialist country
I couldn't work even when I wanted nothing more.
I didn't get any money from the government.
And I also understand the concept of government theft.
If you cannot gasp these concepts, I we have nothing to talk about. You are intellectually incapable of accepting, that work is better then theft in economic effects as well as in social effects or psychological ones. And that doesn't even matter, since your begging will go unheard anyway, if you just don't fit some stupid government rule, because they decided, that the support will go to single mothers.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club Would it be socialism if children weren't working but were instead studying or playing or doing things children do?
@adiz
Well, thanks for confirming your inability to comprehend the concept of hunger.
/thread
@adiz
Childern don't starve... Childern to child stuff like playing or studying
I didn't think anyone could be that retarded.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club Hunger as in not eating and being hungry?
@adiz
Also, I cannot imagine a single more fulfilling activity for a kid, then spending days on begging the government. That surely will fix his life.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club
I'd be against 15 too in some of the mentioned circumstances.
This would be entirely different if it was about actually providing training and skills instead of merely racing to the bottom. It sounds like the proposal is broader than merely changing the age.
House Study Bill 134 would enable the directors of Iowa Workforce Development and the Iowa Department of Education to grant exemptions to allow teens ages 14 to 17 to work in jobs otherwise prohibited for children if they're part of a school- or employer-based job training program. The bill would also let teens work longer hours than current law allows.

Why the rush to throw kids into dangerous jobs for low pay? Is it because they're realizing that they'll actually need to pay people to do real work, and this is a mad-dash runaround attempt to prevent that?
