Contributing to the strugglesession by adding “oh yeah, then what happened to the owners of Foxconn?” and immediately doubling down when people point out that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company by saying “oh I thought Taiwan was part of China”

Lose a fucking hand, and you get only paid a month or two worth of rent. Fucking ridiculous

Edit: holy fuck the rental market went to absolute shit since the last time I checked.

We need Mao back asap.

Fines for illicit drug posession in the state of Michigan can reach up to $25,000 for personal use btw. Heroin addicts are forced pay 25k and child mutilators only have to make a down payment on a used car.

Here's a full story

Ionia County Judge Ray Voet said the accident was a “horrible tragedy” but didn't warrant jail or probation for Darin Wilbur (Owner)

If a homeless man sneezed on someone he'd be calling for the death penalty.

“Two months later, we wouldn’t even be here,” the judge said, noting that the teen soon would have turned 18 years old.

The $1100 fine for permanently disabiling a child was too much.

Defense attorney Howard Van Den Heuvel said Wilbur hired the teen, a high school dropout, as a way to help him. He said the boy was warned to never put his hand inside the grinder.

Blame the child who lost their hand to a greedy boss.
