"Duvan Tomas Perez, killed working in a poultry plant.

Michael Schuls, killed working at a logging company.

Will Hampton, killed working at a landfill.

This is why child labor laws exist. Companies can't be allowed to turn to kids when adults refuse to work for poverty wages."

Voters in the US can affect very little change, either by referendum or through very local representation. At the state and national level, both parties are extremely conservative with one of them actively working to roll back progress and neuter elections.

So while we're in a situation where we are voting to preserve democracy, our young people are taught voting is how they affect change, when it doesn't do that in state or federal elections at all.

Currently progress is very slow, and may get overrun either by civil war or the climate crisis impacting populations.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
