I mean the point of the article is that these are companies violating the law. Child labor is neither legal or common in the US.
In the US you can work when you turn 15 if you get permission from your parents and a school guidance counselor.
A stupid vampire at that.
I mean I legitimately do understand why you'd be so upset if you really believe nothing has changed in 200 years. Because you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid and that shit hurts.

And this has been happening for as long as human history has been written down. If you study anthropology, literally the first thing they teach you is that every generation of humans has said the same thing, to the point where some of the earliest written history we have is basically some version of this exact post.

Even in the US, there are tons of people who can openly live their lives who could not even 20 years ago. OP's conjecture reeks of privilege.
I think about how things actually were 50 years ago, and how every generation since the dawn of written history has the same exact end times mythology and then correctly conclude that I am merely suffering from the same delusion as nearly every human prior to me.
Also I own a glock and three bullets.
Well, at least absent a secular awakening in the middle east. And that is the real issue here in my view, and I'm not sure why so many people seem to be giving a pass to the extremist elephant in the room here.
Because if there's one thing lemmy loves, it's intellectually lazy hyperbole.
