    And it’s clear you haven’t actually read the paper you’re linking given that in that very investigation overview they describe the employers as the issue and not the industry as a whole.

    Also, I like how you’ve just ignored all my notes about your own use of slave labour and child labour in your food and the device your using to continue bitching about the problem as well as misrepresenting the issues noted in the very paper you linked.

    I’m going to chalk this up to incompetence and block you, but yes “well played” you “definitely got me”.

    By the way, since it’s clear you did not read the paper:

    “The safety of young workers and significant reductions in child labor violations are top priorities for the U.S. Department of Labor,” said Principal Deputy Wage and Hour Division Administrator Jessica Looman. “Employers who choose to hire young workers have a legal responsibility to know and abide by the federal laws that govern their employment. These obligations include eliminating all exposures to hazardous occupations and prohibited equipment, and preventing young workers from suffering serious injuries or worse.”

    In case you can’t understand what is being said in the paper, the TL:DR is “Bad employers paying off corrupt politicians to weaken employment restrictions for young workers and the same bad employers ignoring or reducing safety training and safety equipment”.

    Contrary to you, I actually do investigate the supply lines and employment conditions of just about everything I use and consume, I can’t change anything about it because it needs to be a group vote to make change, but I at least educate myself on these things.

    Again, unlike you.

      Oh wtf? You keep editing in more! That whole section wasn’t there when I read your comment. I’m just trying to keep up.

        The core edit occurred less than 45 seconds after the post and the second edit fixed grammar and punctuation about a minute later.

          I’m quoting what I see at the time because I guess it might change? I didn’t see any of your new section tripling the length of your comment once I hit reply. You know damn well the majority of that came later. Talk about bad faith and intellectual dishonesty.

          Look, being insulted isn’t what I want to do with my morning. This whole interaction is just a convulated flame war mess and I’m not interested in devoting more time to it. Especially since I guess you are gonna block me, so whatever.

          You have a good one.
