    Someone I knew was hard-core conservative and thought forcing (other people’s) kids to work was a fucking great idea. When asked about the dangers of working in a industrial kitchen or a meat packing plant he said he wasn’t worried about that at all. Insurance companies would never allow it.

    He spouted all kinds of other right wing BS that was almost as disturbing. That kind of nutcase is exactly who the fuck thought this would be a good idea.

      Uugh. That’s so dumb. Insurance companies simply wouldn’t cover them…but that wouldn’t stop those companies from employing children. Especially if conservatives are dismantling work place safety regulations at the same time.
