The Labor Department found 102 children working hazardous overnight jobs cleaning slaughterhouses in 8 states
In response, House Republicans will be creating a special committee on Hunter Biden‘s penis
But just making them fire the children doesn't fix the basic problem.
I got my first job at 12, and half my paychecks went to my parents, to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. The other half I had to save up, because I bought my own school clothes and supplies. The basic problem was and is poverty, and jobs that don't pay a living wage so children have to work, to help keep their families together.
Of course preventing poverty isn't high on the GQP task list, either.
@flexghost @ScottSoCal hahahahahahahah. Exactly!!!
@ScottSoCal @flexghost Firing the children doesn't solve poverty, that's true. But we have to start where we are with what we have and it does get them out of dangerous situations that no one, including themselves, should have put them in in the first place. And it does a whole lot more than investigating his laptop, or her emails, or Benghazi, or passing legislation to protect employers from liability when underage workers are injured or killed
@ScottSoCal imagine writing a dissertation after missing the point completely
