Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field, before child labor laws that precluded that.
"Back in my day I ate shit so you can too" is never a good argument for anything. That line of thinking just justifies societal regression. We want our children to have it easier, not replicate our same struggles over and over again. Boomer worldviews need to die.
He was 12 in 1980, when minimum wage was $3.10, which looks like about the equivalent of 12 bucks today. Wanna take bets on whether this asshole is for or against a minimum wage increase?
$100 says he's against minimum wage, now where's my $100
Yeah someone needs to vomit on this dude. Go eat 30-40 flapjacks at the mcds and just letter rip
This guy is full of shit on that point anyway as farms get a lot of exemptions to child labor laws.
Children should have opportunities to learn work skills. They shouldn't have to rely on that to eat. Pricks
And before the NLRB, the preferred method of coming to a union understanding was to get a group of like-minded coworkers to convince the boss at the end of a blunt instrument.
Before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field, before child labor laws that precluded that.
Parents in former USSR countries think like that
Imagine not wanting to feed hungry children.
Imagine being pro child labour
Well, it does go hand in hand with being anti abortion.
Uh, no, fuck you! MAGA piece of shit.
Cartoon vilain-ass
"Who can actually go out there and do something that makes them have value and work skills for the future?" McCormick said.
Children have no value unless they're producing something.
Who needs childhood? Buncha spoiled brats not yearning for the mines.
"Why don't we just enslave the poor?"
We already do
don't i know it. did you know america ariel bombed workers seeking just payment and a 40 hour work week? because they did. and they did it in the gOlDeN aGe that our president wants to return to
This is prelude to prove they are intelligent enough to understand consent. Watch
"If they can work at McDonalds they can work this McDick!"
Republican penises are probably more like McNuggets in size.
Looks for the Onion logo, isn't finding it
Oh my God he's serious,.
Peak level of "Not The Onion" headline
Why? These poor, worthless souls don't even want to work! Instead, I have A Modest Proposal...
Mine is less modest. Eat McCormick.
Diagnose: capitalism, final stage
Republicans: We're garbage human beings and let us prove it to you.
Americans: Hey, we should vote these guys in.
Hope everyone's ready for some dark times.
His name is Rich, lol
But he's just a dick
Ah yes, Republicans only care about the lives of children if its to hurt women. Otherwise they dont care about them at all, im not surprised.
Oh yeah, 8 year old me should have just pulled myself up by my bootstraps back in the day. Jeez, fuck these guys.
Yeah because McDonalds loves hiring underage workers with no transportation...
Even in the reddest of red states, a first grader isn't going to be working at McDonalds. They wouldn't even be able to understand how even if they were tall enough to reach anything there, which they aren't.
Well they can starve until they grow up enough. If god meant for kids to have food, he would have made it grow on trees!
Going to school is their job. Telling kids to get a job when they need to be focusing on school is beyond scummy. What a douce!
Child labor, making America great again.
Children yearn for the mines.
His children first
Way back when I was in high school our economics teacher told us that the money one earns from a job during high school was less than the money one would make in six months if one studied and got a high school diploma first much less got a job that required a college degree.
But that was when the federal government created a budget surplus.
MAGA playing their role well. Making child labor great again.
String up the traitors.
Hello child slavery my old friend....
You are not a 1st world country.
