Do not allow this or anything like it, #Iowa.

A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

@michael_w_busch Because honestly, who *doesn't* want to see their 14 year old covered in blood and shit cutting up cattle corpses with a chainsaw?
@pieist The authors of this particular outrageously evil attempted legislation pretend that that is not what they are advocating; because even they do not want to admit just how bad it is. Let no one be deceived: https://eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2023/02/06/key-points-of-bill-to-change-iowa-child-labor-law/69870761007/
@michael_w_busch 16 year olds serving alcohol "with the written permission of a parent"
Oh, well, that's okay then, since the parents most likely to give permission are too illiterate and/or drunk to put it in writing.
