mechoman444 , to news in Kids as young as 14 were found working at a Tennessee factory that makes lawn mower parts

Employing illegal underage migrant workers is definitely a problem and needs to be addressed.

And I’m not angry not sure why you interpreted my comment in that capacity.

I simply posed a question why employing teenagers has suddenly become an issue. Apparently people found my question offensive and assumed a position that I don’t hold.

My question wasn’t directly commenting on the article cited in this post but was in general since I have seen multiple posts indicating that more companies are employing more teenage workers not necessarily illegal migrant workers.

My question is why is this suddenly a problem since employing teenagers has been something that has been going on in this country since its conception.

I see. Then I agree. That is something that should not be happening. Exploiting children of migrant families is despicable.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that teenagers have always been working this isn’t a new phenomenon that has just now started to happen regardless of how many teenagers are working even if that number has increased.

I’ve seen some legislation in recent years where they dropped the minimum wage to work down which I don’t agree with but other than that where’s the problem here that’s what I’m asking?

Deportation the hell are you talking about?

If the company is hiring illegal underage immigrants they themselves are breaking the law.

Moreover even though they might be illegal underage immigrants they still have protections under us law child labor laws don’t change due to your status as an individual in the United States.

So I was a teenager in the early 2000s and many, many of my teenage classmates including myself had jobs. Some full time some part time.

Personally I worked at a paper mill from the age of 15 until I moved out of state.

But the minimum age was 14 to be able to work at that time.

I’ve just been seeing a lot of posts like this indicating young teenage children working and I don’t see why this is all of the sudden an issue?

Sometimes it is. Depends on what Netflix is doing. But you’re right, I usually just use my own hotspot when traveling.

Ya. Most vacation rentals will have Internet like this. They don’t want you pirating or downloading potentially illegal materials.

It’s enough to watch Netflix and Google shit and that’s about it.

They might as well ban unicorns or Bigfoot

I was about to ask why she would do such a thing but then I remembered to my dismay that asking why mtg does shit is like asking a flat earther why they think the earth is flat.

Just like an good oligarch dictator would.

Onlyfans is an oddity wrapped in an enigma. Not only is there a ton of free porn + all the porn one can torrent but there are dozens of free cam sites out there. I mean dead free! One can watch thousands of nude models nonstop.

There should be no reason to pay for onlyfans. Ever.

Yes. But to be fair they would have ended up there anyway.
