Child labor was common in urban, industrial America for most of the country’s history. It’s now making a disturbing comeback: lawmakers across the US are undertaking concerted efforts to weaken or repeal statutes that prohibit employing children.

We need to move beyond capitalism. What a miserable existence inflicted upon us who see no other way to live than by stepping on others - enough so they diminish the lives of children to be nothing more than tools. Honestly, every lawmaker who’s pushing for this deserves a good, strong punch to the mouth and then some. This constant push to hoard wealth and damn the consequences is killing us all.
