Now I'm imagining "The Matrix" style grow tanks lining production lines where fetuses send signals to machines to do work because hiring 5 year olds to too expensive.

Or just find ways to replace workers with AI, which would probably be their first choice.

In all, the investigations led to $212,544 in civil money penalties against the employers.

About $700 per child labourer. Still cheaper than hiring an adult.

Imagine if America legalized nationwide child and forced labor. This could reverse policies that were enacted by Abraham Lincoln.

Hi here from all with a quick question and hope im not breaking any rules. Do you guys talk about anything other than America bad or are the america bad posts the only ones that make it to my all page?

(I'm not saying america isn't bad, just curious)

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Pretty much anybody who's a communists sees the US as a threat to humanity. So, why would it be surprising that the focus is on the horrors of the regime?

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago
