Where is the sweatshop from these changes in laws? This is beyond hyperbolic. This is not about sweatshops.

  You think the desirable employers are the ones that need bodies so badly they’ll hire children? Don’t kid yourself, they’ll be lucky if they work in sweatshops and not in abattoirs.

    Where are the sweatshops? Are you all delusional? Have you all not heard of the fact that teenagers have worked jobs for decades? This is unbelievable.

      it's worse than sweatshops. from the article: > Despite such findings, a new Iowa law signed last year by Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) allows minors in that state to work in jobs previously deemed too hazardous, including in industrial laundries, light manufacturing, demolition, roofing and excavation but not slaughterhouses. Separately, West Virginia enacted a new law this month that allows 16- and 17-year-olds to work some roofing jobs as part of an apprenticeship program. > Six more states are also evaluating bills to lift restrictions preventing minors from working jobs considered dangerous. A Georgia bill would allow 14-year-olds to work in landscaping on factory grounds and other prohibited work sites. Florida’s legislature has passed a law, drafted by the state’s construction industry association, that would allow teens to work certain jobs in residential construction. It’s awaiting approval from DeSantis.
