Dang. You’ve gone from ‘that never happens’ (even though it does) to ‘child labor is hilarious’. You just keep on digging, don’t you?

Tell that to my friend’s grandma. Latest arrest record at 80, for whacking a cop with her handbag at a protest.
What do they think if this latest bit of bullshit?
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'
-Isaac Asimov, 1980

Wait… just to be clear, is your argument ‘because only a few plants have been caught doing it, that means no other companies will?’
I want to be sure I have that right before I reply.
It’s not defeatism; they’re not saying lie down and take it. They’re pointing out to the morons who just say ‘oh well, he is kinda awful, but he’ll be voted out in four years’ are idiots.
We need to kick him out now. The 2025 playbook says he’s going to use an engineered ‘border crisis’ to declare martial law, and he’s been sticking to that playbook like glue.
You do realize several plants in the US have already been caught using child labor, right?
It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.
Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.
Because true respect is something money can’t buy.
They say money can buy you whatever you want, but really it can only buy you items and appearances. But rich people spend so much time just throwing money at various desires and issues that they tend to confuse appearances with substance. Note Musk buying ‘skill’ at video games, and the push for AI—because it allows them to pretend to have skill at something they don’t.
So they endlessly chase appearances, and are confused when all they end up holding is empty air. An unsatisfying feeling, to say the least.
When you have everything else, and you’re still not happy, and throwing money at the issue is your only skill, you keep trying that, no matter how often it doesn’t work.

Yeah, nothing’s ‘plunged’ at all. He’s still in the 45-49% approval rating he’s had since taking office. Hell, any ‘dips’ are statistically insignificant enough to possibly be rounding errors.
