As always the headline buries the lede, 300 violations across 60+ locations owned by three franchisees in a geocontiguous tri-state area, basically a child labor cartel at the golden arches. I wonder if they have hired muscle
That's truly insane levels of lede-burying holy crap.
"We found one kid working a McDonalds job (oh yeah and like 300 more between 3 franchisees alone)"
The hired muscle is the biggest 14 year old they could find, but his brother is in high school and could totally kick your ass
uuuuuuuum that's false sweaty https://gizmodo.com/national-guard-says-no-child-soldiers-were-deployed-to-1843783915
"The violations affected 154 minor employees at the restaurants and led to a fine of $92,107." assuming profits were well in excess of this right?
I'm surprised these corporations are wasting so much money lobbying to have child labor laws relaxed. Those fines are a slap on the wrist.
seriously??? so these rich fucks could theoretically just run franchises with child labor and brush off the fines as operating expenses or some shit???
A single McDonald's brings in an average of 150k annually for the owner.
i would bet that these fine limits haven't been updated since the 1930's :amerikkka-clap:
its quite simple actually. every manager and franchise owner should be shot.
The plot from the letheri arc in malazan is the fernando plot in atlas sjruged but by a competent writer.
There's literally a part in the Fountainhead where a character tells a story where he demanded work as a child and ended up carrying milk jugs at a grocery store, then blah blah he's suddenly a millionaire. It's presented as how he built character, you beg a business owner to do menial work as a child and then someday you're rich too. Ok cool
I've never read the book. Is the implication that the socialist world doesn't encourage child labor, but it should?
You're supposed to think children who work are admirable and the ones who don't are lazy parasites. The overarching theme of the Fountainhead seems to be you should be as stubborn as possible, never admit failing or fault, and never succumb to anyone who could be considered a parasite like uh...people building public housing.
cw: sexual assault
The Fountainhead is a complete mess honestly and it's one of the most deranged things I've ever read. The main character rapes a woman and is rewarded by her falling in love with him. He also tries building her a literal temple in his daily architect job.
The climax of the book occurs when he helps a friend design some public housing tenament buildings, but makes his friend swear the designs will not be altered. Then the parasitic socialist government tells the contractors to build the roof differently. This is such a moral outrage that the protagonist gets his rape victim to seduce and distract the security guard, then he blows up the whole construction site with TNT. This is explicitly told to the reader this is morally justified behavior in a 30+ page courtroom scene, where the protagonist is so successful at defending himself in court that his antagonist, a socialist newspaper editor, shoots himself in the head. The protagonist then gets a job designing the tallest building in NYC. The end.
As the chief censor in my house, I have decided to continue the supression of any media expressing Ayn Rand and JK Rowling thought.
:bugs-stalin:
What are good honest god fearing franchisee owners supposed to do since you got damned lazy MILLENNIALS refuse to work?! :ooooooooooooooh:
Boomers will call everyone younger than 45 a millennial until their dying day
A generation of brainwashed SJWs mind controlled by the woke mind virus and feasting on avocados like zombies.
Are a lot of boomers not familiar with avocado? Is it too spicy?
Shit you not, my dad, a boomer, just tried broccoli for the first time in his life this year :what-the-hell:
Lol. The day he eats an avocado is going to blow his mind. :galaxy-brain:
In socialist country, even the children are forced to do dangerous industrial jobs despite having no formal education or training.
Fucking hell. I guess I'm lucky that every job I've had they tended to be super paranoid about violating DOL shit. Except for one and I've gotten to cash 2 different checks from class action law suits against them lol. Not much money but it felt good. Really feel for these kids 😕
But I thought this only happens in those “Third World” countries?
Oh, the 10 year old is being groomed for a cover story in Forbes, in which he’ll say that he’s got to start somewhere to becoming a powerful CEO.
but what about when the bodega cashier is 10 (and has a better haircut than you and could probably whoop your ass)?
When it happens in asia: wow what a bunch of backward unchristian people living in a shithole led by an evil dictator
When it happens in the usa: wow this is to teach work ethics and entrepreneurship to the youth. This is wholesome because they are helping their parents
