Republicans in Iowa are pushing a bill to roll back child labor protections.

It would allow kids as young as 14 to work certain jobs in meatpacking plants.

What if…and hear me out…we paid adult workers a living wage and gave them benefits instead of hiring children to work?

@rbreich My memory isn't the best, but aren't meatpacking jobs like twice as dangerous as being a cop? Maybe we should get children to be police. They couldn't do any worse than those we have now.
