Authoritarianism is posing as progress. This country is walking backwards.

A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

I want to see more kids in the work force. Putting them to work early helps to build a life-long work ethic
Replying to @marwilliamson
Kids should not be forced to work. A small summer job is ok perhaps; chores that teach cleanliness and responsibility, yes. A full time job ? No.

Absolutely!

We are going back to the 17th Century ... when little children worked in mines ... as chimney sweeps ... and in factories!

This is where we're headed. This is what corporations want. This is what the billionaires want. Unregulated power over a civilization of slave class. Been saying it for years.

No, it's not WALKING. It has commandeered a Concorde and is JETTING backwards into the Dark Ages.

Rolling back government restrictions is authoritatianism? I'd like to try whatever you're smoking.
