  • That’s not all, folks! 🐷 This shit runs deep, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. I just can’t wrap my head around children being brought into these places, trained, and then let loose–and no adult along that chain thinks to themselves that maybe there’s a problem with that?!?!?!

    From the article:

    • One 14-year-old was severely injured while cleaning the drumstick packing line belt at the plant in Virginia, the investigation alleged.

    • The agreement stipulates that Fayette will hire a third-party consultant to monitor the company’s compliance with child labor laws for at least three years, as well as to facilitate trainings. The company must also establish a hotline for individuals to report concerns about child labor abuses.

    • The Labor Department’s latest statistics indicate the number of children being employed illegally in the U.S. has increased 88% since 2019.

    This is all very performative, slap-on-the-wrist level punishment, and i imagine there are hundreds more children out there still working in shit conditions because nobody will say or do anything about it until more injuries/deaths force them to.


  • Conservatives have always played “victims”, it doesn’t surprise me in the least to see them co-opt anti-semitism now. I think they’ve actually resented Jewish people for having been genuine victims, stealing away that precious attention they wanted for themselves. Now they pretend to have always been besties with the Jewish, and claim anti-semitism is something they stand against in solidarity with the government of Israel (even more shithead conservatives)
