@keds_economist: Where did the #crisis in #childlabor come from in the US? I argue in my latest column, it comes from decades of undermining the enforcement of #laborlaw. Its not random, its as predictable as it is tragic.
this is one of your best videos so far. I really appreciate your explanations, and this one was especially enlightening

I was hired full time and the company forced me to be 1099. When I left, they tried to keep my final check.

No surprise the department of labor is underfunded much like education is underfunded. Priorities, priorities, priorities

I am the Last Viscount :
I had a sociology professor at Notre Dame in the '80s who often wrote how child labor laws and attitudes wax and wane with our need for it. Our "moral enlightenment" is not a factor, just a tall tale.

One party supports limiting child labor laws and simultaneously block laws to prevent child marriage. And they claim to represent family values.

It seems like a progression from 1 worker per household, then both adults work, now adults and kids. It’s just a reach for cheap additional labor to make line go up.

I’m not so naive as to believe that the GOP are evil, wannabe supervillains… but, I wouldn’t fault someone who makes that conclusion. So much for law & order as a claimable party platform…

The more they get away with exploitation, the more they will push the boundaries to exploit further. We need to stand up to this, but it will take all of us acting in community.
