If I were referring to child labor laws in a blog post, as he was, probably. If I come up with some weasel words for them, anyone paying attention will pounce on that, suspecting my "real" agenda is to put orphans dressed in rags on treadmills.
- bwh2 17y agoThis is kind of my point. I rolled my eyes when the author complained about "Laws... regulating child labor." You said, "child labor laws," which I would argue has a significantly different meaning than the authors phrase. But I'm comfortably agreeing to disagree on the connotation. Perhaps I would have understood the author's point more had he even bothered to explain what laws regulating child labor he was talking about and why they're a problem. Instead, he just skipped that and focused on minimum wage.
- Semiapies 17y agoI think that's a fair point; detail on which child labor laws he meant would strengthen his argument.
