Try to understand the Repubs’ perspective. Won’t this harm the billionaires’ stock portfolios? Getting financially cucked by the wealthy is more important than our safety or even our lives.

"Dems introduce bill that has broad public support, would help most Americans, and it immediately goes nowhere because the party of obstruction with minority rule is a bunch of whiny and cry babies. "

Its kinda funny how quiet the comment sections are when democrats do something good for workers.

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?
PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The fine for illegal child labor is capped at $15k/ child and a max $700k. No criminal charges whatsoever.
