You need at least 100 toddlers to keep a slaughterhouse running /s

This is just capitalism at work. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Almost like a new Chainsaw Massacre franchise is writing itself in these kids nightmares each and every night. As someone who cleaned a supermarket butcher shop a few times in my teens, I can't imagine cleaning an actual abattoir... I wonder if they got to take home any souvenirs...

It could've started that way, but the higher-ups were equally at fault for not checking. At best, you look ignorant and incompetent if you're a senior manager or C-suite professional and don't know what's going on in at least your own department.

Look at the woke crowd making a mountain out of a molehill. What else are these kids supposed to do if they can't afford to buy lemons for a lemonade stand?

...and then all the kids from on-site daycare disappear for the night to go on a field trip (I know the youngest was allegedly 13). It is ok though as Bob from accounting and Pat from HR are making sure they're having fun and following OSHA standards.

Why are you guys denying 13 year old's the freedom to make a wage!?? How else can they afford the bullet proof vests they need to survive the mass shootings at schools!?

Your boss would make you work 12 hour days if they were allowed to.

Make no mistake, there is no fundamental difference between capitalism in America and capitalism everywhere else.

The only difference is that thousands of people fought for the labor rights you enjoy today, and if you're not fighting for them today, you can lose them very quickly.

Ha! Yea, conservatives saying nobody wants to work anymore is a running joke amongst my friends. I'm a builder so I'm in HD way more than I want to be. It's a shit place to work. Bottom dollar, high stress, and constant turn over. Of course nobody wants to work there.

I see what you're trying to say. But most of the world is not doing better than the U.S in terms of regulating capitalism. Sadly. Guessing you live somewhere in Europe. That's good for you.

Take a look at Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, West Asia, China, Middle East, Eastern Europe (most of the world by population). And you will find rampantly unregulated, capitalist influenced politics across the board. You will find actual slavery. Human rights abuse. Corruption. Ecological destruction. Massive socioeconomic stratification. All on a level much more intense than what can be found in the U.S.

Places like India, Philippines, China, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, just to name a few big ones that come to mind. People immigrate from these places to the U.S and it aint for the good weather.

This coming from a Canadian, which, while we try to run a mixed system here also, people still get exploited a bit on the lower end of the pay scale.

So this is how they get people to work in slaughterhouses...they illegally force children to endure the horror... my god it's even worse than we thought.

Don’t worry about that, the UK government is selling the NHS piece by piece to the private sector. Healthcare staff are striking, 100s of people are dying due to shortages each weak and they want to charge for GP and A&E visits now. Conservatives are very good at selling us out to the rich here too!

Pretty sure if they helped with immigration they could find plenty of workers... but then the jobs Americans don't want would be stolen and we can't have that! /s

As severely opposed to maga as I am I have no idea what you’re taking about. Did you read somewhere that maga is pushing for child labor?

Are children cleaning drag queens in secret top office maga meetings?
