Smh, that should have been a good local white boy that got ground up and sold as chicken nuggets obama-sad

Guatemala

AKA just another Westerner. The previous commenter is mistaken. Many Latinos have assured me on this.

if you want to put a 16 year old guatemalan in a meat grinder it'll cost you as much as 1.5 new cars

The only good deterrent would be a death sentence like what China does when their millionaires fuck around and find out

President Xi, set my people free!

It's like that fine was calculated specifically to make the child labor still worth the price for them.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Breading then frying the factory owners then serving them to the other business owners that use child labor would be a good deterrent.

And then saying fuck it, execute them all anyways

[-] Woly@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Damn, she did make it her mission to kill all the richest people in westeros, didn't she

Thought you said breeding, and was wondering if I had left Hexbear all of a sudden.

[-] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

We should skip the formalities and replace their skin with lemon peel.

The fine should be the total labour produce that the average worker would have created over the remaining years of their working life and every single penny of it should go to the family.

$200k is pathetic, and how much of that goes to the family? The state is responsible for the negligence that allowed this workplace to do this. The state doesn't deserve jack shit.

[-] wopazoo@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

This is not the price of a human life as you define it, but American government agencies consider the price of a human life to be worth $10M, which is way more than the $200k fine.

GONZALEZ: These are pre-coronavirus numbers. But to convince workers to take this risk, companies have to pay them an extra $400 a year - each of them. So if I accept $400 to take a 1 in 25,000 chance of dying at work, I have revealed, essentially, a value that I put on my own life. And if the group of 25,000 people get $400 each, that's $10 million.

So that is today's value of life - $10 million.

Somewhat better but still not enough. It's not just his life, an entire family has been destroyed for their whole lives too.

"One random C-suit executive is fed into the machine" is the only correct answer.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

1 executive put into the machine for every year was left for that kid's life

[-] Sinistar@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

doomer Through the wisdom of the free market, we have determined the value of a sixteen year old boy is about $212,646.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

in China they put hiring managers and owners into prison and even execute them for things like this

This was required reading when I was in school, I assume that wasn't uncommon, and yet...

Someone is going to accidentally eat a dead child that was doing CHILD LABOR and DIED DURING IT and all we’re doing is fining the company that made this happen? For less than Steam loses when they lose a small court case? Fuck this country

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Okay, as someone who works in the meat industry, I can say with relative certainly that all the chicken that could have come into contact with the boy's body would have been thrown out and the area deep cleaned. They aren't just going to say "Oh well, federal regulations let us have 25 ppm of ground teenager, just mix it in with the good stuff and ship it". These companies regularly recall entire batches of meat (worth $1,000s of dollars) if there is so much as a bolt unaccounted for that someone might choke on.

Earlier this week at the place I work, one of the other butchers had a seizure and they threw out all of the stuff he was working on at the time (probably about $200-300) just in case he got some blood on it when he bit his tongue.

[-] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, so a child just died gruesomely and they only got fined a small pittance, that's SO much better /s

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago
