child-labor law

Read a random definition: rule of interpretation

A quick definition of child-labor law:

Child-labor law is a rule made by the government to protect children who work. It tells employers what kind of work children can do and what conditions they need to work in. The Fair Labor Standards Act is a law that sets rules for how much money children should be paid and how many hours they can work. It helps make sure that children are not taken advantage of at work.

A more thorough explanation:

A child-labor law is a law that protects children by setting rules for their working conditions. These laws can be made by the state or federal government. The Fair Labor Standards Act is an example of a federal child-labor law.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that was created in 1938. It sets rules for minimum wages, overtime pay, and the employment of minors. This means that employers must pay their workers a certain amount of money and cannot make them work too many hours. The FLSA also has rules about how old someone must be to work certain jobs.

For example, the FLSA says that children under the age of 14 cannot work most jobs. Children who are 14 or 15 years old can work certain jobs, but only for a limited number of hours each day and week. The FLSA also says that children who are 16 or 17 years old can work more hours, but still cannot work in certain dangerous jobs.

These examples show how the Fair Labor Standards Act protects children by setting rules for their working conditions. By having these rules in place, children are less likely to be taken advantage of by their employers and are able to work in a safe and fair environment.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
