oppressive child labor

Read a random definition: impeachment of waste

A quick definition of oppressive child labor:

Oppressive child labor is when children are made to work in jobs that are harmful to their health, safety, or morals. This can include working in factories, being sold or trafficked, forced labor, or being used in prostitution or drug trafficking. It is against the law to employ children under the age of 16 in any occupation, or those aged 16 to 18 in particularly hazardous jobs. The government can impose fines of up to $10,000 for each violation. This is also known as harmful child labor.

A more thorough explanation:

Oppressive child labor refers to the employment of workers who are under the age of majority, typically focusing on abusive practices that jeopardize their health, safety, or morals. This includes:

Some writers restrict the term to activities forbidden by the International Labor Organization's minimum-age conventions.

For example, if a factory owner hires children under the age of 16 to work long hours in dangerous conditions without proper safety equipment, it would be considered oppressive child labor. Similarly, if a child is forced to work as a prostitute or drug trafficker, it would also be considered oppressive child labor.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the employment of workers under the age of 16 in any occupation, or the employment of those 16 to 18 years old in particularly hazardous occupations, is prohibited. The Secretary of Labor may assess civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.

Overall, oppressive child labor is a serious violation of human rights and should be eradicated to ensure the well-being of children worldwide.

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.
