Child labor

Reuters reports that SMART Alabama LLC, a Hyundai Motor Co. subsidiary that makes parts for the carmaker’s Montgomery-area assembly line, used children as young as 12 at its Luverne, Ala. plant. Reuters said they became aware of the case when a Guatemalan migrant girl living in nearby Enterprise disappeared in February.

These are illegals, so that may or may not have bearing on how we feel about child labor.

First of all - what a surprise, corporate America clamoring for illegal aliens so they can exploit them. :yawn:

Second, it's better for any kid to be learning a trade and earning money rather than sitting in one of the indoctrination camps we call a classroom.

Still kind of for reforming public schools - for one thing, sending one kid to a trade school might save him, but leaving the rest to be brainwashed doesn't help the rest of us.

Secondly - MY son and possibly my youngest almost certainly WILL learn a trade - but my youngest is never going to learn simple math or how to comprehend what she reads without school. Doing something as simple as reading a recipe or hearing a request, she gets things mixed up because she understands neither. Hence, we get cookies dripping with butter or chores done bass ackwards because her ability to reason is weak.

Schools themselves STILL need to be better, or the nation is doomed if it isn't already.

As I said in another post. The Democrats have opened our southern border.

Fentanyl , human trading, crime, now child labor if this story is anywhere near true.
All a part of the Democrat open border policy.
Democrats are shipping these people al over our country, and even their own Democrat cities are now crying.

There has to be a reason. WHY are they doing this?

Add to this that they cheated to get us a President who on his best day was never presidential material, and on his worst day soils his depends. Here we are with rampant inflation, and a military filled with trannies, Homosexuals , and women in combat roles, and the real troops getting tossed out for not getting the jab.

If their intention is not to destroy America they have me fooled.

I’m sure the Alabama AG is too busy trying to figure out how to put abortion violators in a steel cage to care much about this.

But if we were to start jailing individuals at companies who hire young people not old enough to work legally or illegal immigrants, not only would that practice end right smart quick so too would modern commerce as we know it. Make your choice.

These types of stories aren’t going anywhere.

STILL wonder how we managed for decades without illegal labor, even through the Depression and war.

Because the price of labor is the last remaining element of COGS that can increase profit margins. Efficiencies from technological advancement have hit a lull. With automation improvements, machines will increasingly supplant humans.

But in the meantime, this is the reason labor has been increasingly moved from the US to places like China and other countries. Humans are exploitable, and you can squeeze much more out of them in terms of profit margins.

Absolutely nothing wrong with any of that. Business exists to earn profits.

Name names and name the crimes for which they show be jailed.
OMG you are such a douche. HRC for starters, destructiobn of government records, violations of handling classified materiel. The AGs in Portland, Seattle for failure to arrest and prosecute people rioting and burning FEDERAL buildings. But why do I bother? You have boundless stupidity and denial.

This is the typical Democrat response. No morals or ethics, just greed.

Thank you for reiterating that.

I think what astonishes me is the general myopia when it comes to all that. People shot and killed, beaten, one reporter - on camera - with his teeth being smashed into a bloody mouth - and when it got brought up by Trump during debates --

It got crickets. Blank stares. You'd have thought he mentioned that aliens had landed - and they switched the subject to "white supremacy".
But seriously - they're either lying - or SO cocooned in their liberal world, the actions of millions and destruction of billions of dollars of property, dozens killed and hundreds injured - and it gets this look like "wha choo talkin' bout, Willis?".

They're not naïve or cocooned. They know exactly what they're doing. They absolutely know the evil they do, and they're good with it.

They answer only to the god of politics. Power.

But you are an educated person and surely are familiar with various historical "holy wars", including the Holocaust. They think the end justifies the means. They think they're harming KKK members and Nazis, and don't even see them as human. They also are completely immersed in confirmation bias, to the point they have no idea what's going on in the world besides what their propagandists tell them.
