It gets really old seeing meta comments like this that have nothing to do with the actual article.

They’re basically:
“this isn’t good enough! They can do more! I’m a petulant child who will throw away my vote so Trump can win, and surely THAT will change something!”

Ok, but why is the fine for child labor capped so low?

No idea. I’m guessing you know, if that’s your area if interest. So feel free to enlighten me of course.
But it’s irrelevant at the moment. There is no action you can take between now and November to affect change to that policy.
If this topic is really a thing that bothers you, run for local office, vote in primaries for more progressive candidates, start a PAC to address the issue. Those are all effective methods of change if you really want to change things. And you can start now.
