Was it illegal for people to work before age 18 previously?

I mean the point of the article is that these are companies violating the law. Child labor is neither legal or common in the US.
In the US you can work when you turn 15 if you get permission from your parents and a school guidance counselor.
A stupid vampire at that.
I mean I legitimately do understand why you'd be so upset if you really believe nothing has changed in 200 years. Because you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid and that shit hurts.
And this has been happening for as long as human history has been written down. If you study anthropology, literally the first thing they teach you is that every generation of humans has said the same thing, to the point where some of the earliest written history we have is basically some version of this exact post.
Yet now I shit in a climate controlled box with no predators around.
Even in the US, there are tons of people who can openly live their lives who could not even 20 years ago. OP's conjecture reeks of privilege.
I think about how things actually were 50 years ago, and how every generation since the dawn of written history has the same exact end times mythology and then correctly conclude that I am merely suffering from the same delusion as nearly every human prior to me.
Also I own a glock and three bullets.
Because if there's one thing lemmy loves, it's intellectually lazy hyperbole.
And get banned for questioning orthodox bullshit
Man if we could only discuss actual politics instead of edgy teenage revolution fetish.
Feels like ad hominem. The point is that you are unwilling to even engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity, an idea which is reported by a number of primary Russian sources in a variety of media. Putin himself expresses frequent open skepticism of Ukrainian nationality. Not to even mention the internationally recognized mass deportation of children.
I won't argue that Israel isn't an apartheid state engaging in collective punishment. Meanwhile you will turn yourself in circles to defend Russian aggression, and for the life of me I can figure out what that has to do with liberating workers. It just feels less like intellectual honesty and more like campism. But then somehow I'm the brainwashed goon for actually attempting to maintain something resembling ideological consistency.
Because I don't want to spend three days to run a load of laundry.
