Coal mining and chimney sweeping are ideal professions for children, as they can fit into much narrower tunnels than adults.
Seriously, at least the victorian ghouls who made children work had a sorta practical sense about it.
Do you know how much closer together you can get those shelves if the stockers have preteen hands and forearms?
It’s sad but also sad because the manager probably doesn’t make much more than minimum wage either
Why the fuck are there jobs that just get to ignore overtime laws. It’s fucking insanity and I’ve literally never heard an argument for why that shouldn’t be insanely illegal
Because employees should get to enjoy the PERSONAL FREEDOMS™️©️®️ of being able to choose between different contracts to find one that's right for them! You don't hate PERSONAL FREEDOMS™️©️®️ do you? :porky-happy:
laws are for letting rich people get away with oppressing the weak consequence free and undermining revolts. there, argument for why its legal.
The only benefit of salaried is you typically don't have to punch the clock so time theft is easy as hell but every other part sucks. I get flown around the country all the time and the team I work with is hourly and gets OT for every hour they are out of state past 40 a week, be that when they are working or when we are getting plastered at the hotel bar. I get my base salary....

Satire doesn't work if people don't grasp what's being mocked. You'd just be contributing to the madness.
okay, you might be right, but also it would be fun.
Better off using real stories from leftist countries framed in the same manner.
This little boy begged for someone to free his father from the torturous thugs of Cuban President Batista when a young lawyer came to his aid...
Just be sure you've organized enough people to upvote the post, downvote the trolls, and keep the comments filled with positive, verifiable facts and you've got an agitprop group in the making.
burn this shit hole to the ground. i don't even care what burns anymore.
Yes. Family Dollar pays 12 year olds a $50k annualized salary, while our EMS workers with Harvard medical degrees are scrapping by on $7/hr.
Bet you feel pretty stupid going to college now, dontcha, liberals?
Per day, not per hour. So, less than the federal minimum wage unless the kid is working less than 3.44 hrs a day.
What sick country :amerikkka:
How the hell does this not immediately radicalize anyone reading it?
horse blinders bolted into the skull, im pretty sure. it's called 'mindfulness'; cause and effect are not linked, nothing is real. only aesthetics matter, and look how positive this is! its so affirming and warm fuzzy about children being ground into dust by poverty and (soon, again) heavy machinery!
Just guessing here, but the new age bullshit craze of "mindfulness" is really more like "mindlessness" - meaning you have to purge all thoughts, ignore material conditions, and then you'll achieve nirvana or some shit. Bonus points if you use an app to help you achieve said nirvana, and double bonus points if you post your journey on IG
Mindfulness is not about purging your thoughts. It's about being mindful of all your perceptions, including your thoughts. I agree that there is nothing without ideology in this world but there's really no reason to disavow mindfulness in totality because it's used to dull the mental anguish of modern capitalism (although I agree that it can be used cynically to keep people from pursuing a change in the material conditions of their lives)
Oh I completely agree - that's the objective definition of the term. But that's not how it's being used in the recent trend. Like primrosepathspeedrun was saying, it's more about the aesthetics than anything
I think that it's being sold as a service and that explains the current modern fascination. I reject out of hand though the demonization of mental self awareness aka mindfulness. I think it's unproductive
in practice, every time someone recommends it to me it's about not thinking about big stuff, just thinking about and occupying the present moment-always ahistorically, and generally without ambitions for the future, just think about now, right this moment.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. You wouldn't let yourself have 5, 10 minutes in a day where you're not actively thinking about the class struggle? No one can doubt your revolutionary bona fides but it's important to be aware of the pattern if your thought and how it influences your emotion and behavior. Kudos to you if you've never had issues with anxiety/depression but as someone who suffers from/has suffered from both awareness of my patterns of thought has brought me a lot of peace. Mindfulness is a practical approach to mental self awareness, and it doesn't need to be more than that if that's not helpful for you.
looking away is not the solution. self awareness is fine? good and necessary, even? I find 'mindfulness' courses tend to discourage it.
if you really struggle with introspection, do some drugs.
the practice of deliberate myopia and disassociation? nothing. nothing has to do with anything, cause and effect is communist propaganda.

Death to America
corporate rags have been increasingly suggesting "mindfulness" as a cure for work/mayo/america-induced stress since around 2018
"feeling tired out from COVID? mindfulness can help. here's how."
true, but it is what corporate neolibs have tried to redefine it as with 5 new articles on medium every day since 2018.
honestly this is the reason i am now okay with political violence. why I just cannot give a shit about random lib lives anymore.
This account is less than 24 hours old and full of fed shit, but is also editing old comments, so I’m just copy-pasting :)

Lol AND they are under paying him. Should have held out for an hourly wage and benefits bud.
a child begging to do menial labor for scraps is somehow courageous and motivational
"barbarians! how dare they! boycott chinese child slaves! only buy good wholesome american slave labor!"
Economic oppression I'm the richest country in the world driving families to rely on child labour to make ends meet but somehow it's wholesome.
has to be satire after seeing a picture of a kid in a red polo in a family dollar
I mean it's not the kid's fault somehow lol. The post makes it sound like his family's poor and every adult around him tells him that that's a moral failing and the only solution is hard work and gratitude. Like that manager should actually be in prison.
Hed be better volunteering at that chic fila for that price
Also this is a huge labor violation lol
