A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

like... ugh...

ya know, it's one thing when they're just outright sexist/racist or warmongering or corrupt/theives. we all know they're those things. shitty, selfish people.

but when they do THIS SHIT, we know that they're not just selfish, they're cruel. they don't do what they do just to take from other and enrich themselves... no...

they want to be cruel. they want to hurt others they perceive as weak. it's not enough just to take from you. they want to see you suffer for it. they want to see children suffer.

that's who these people are

And don't worry, they also get off on the power of being hypocrites about it too

If you are a Republican.. fuck you.

Republicans have a weird fixation with exploiting children.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's really a weird fixation with exploiting EVERYBODY. They just don't see why kids should get a break.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, children are an easy target, but they would also go after teens, young and old adults. Its a problem that concerns everybody.

The experiment was going well for a while

So well in fact other countries adopted a lot from you, yet you never saw improvements on your systems to be emulated at all

Weird suicide of a nation that never needed to happen

Republicans would sell their wives and children for a chance at cheap labor and no taxes. Just despicable people with no morals or principles.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

There are no Republicans any more, that was just the larval stage before they morphed into their final form - MAGA.

The Republican party is dead. They are all MAGAs now.

But we need to protect them online, and in the womb!

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Everywhere but real life it seems.

Speaking as a now old man that started working at 14 in factories to help my family keep a roof over our heads and food on the table and only had the bare minimum protection for kids that worked, fuck these family values assholes.

I fully support children getting violent against those who voted for or support this.

[–] OryxAndCake@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would but I don't think incarceration will be any kinder to them.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At least there they could afford an actual meal and get a education.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not really. For profit jails and prisons charge inmates a daily fee for being there.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They yearn for the good old days.

Of the Dark Ages.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

serfdom, slavery, ai - free labor

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

well putting children in factories more 1800's thing

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Stripping child labour protection is essentially stripping workers and human rights away. This may be focused on children but it absolutely isnt - it also mixes in teenagers and adults, and those who support this are egotistical pricks.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You already have mom and dad working two jobs each, and it's still tough to pay the bills. Now we can get the kids out contributing to the household, too. It's not like they're getting decent public school education anyway.

If you get all the kids working a couple of jobs, your path to wealth will be assured, just work really hard, and don't worry about the money, it'll come.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Best part is kids don't vote so they can't represent themselves.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The party of "protect the children" by the way...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Protect them from a proper education

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

Soon they'll vote again to send in the army to cut down any protests against their family values

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes. Another episode of my favourite show - 'Nearly Dead Politicians Making Decisions About Matters That They Know Nothing About, That Do Not Impact Them, and That They Will Never Have to Worry About'. Looks like this will be a good one.
