How do you do, fellow wage laborers

Iowa has this unbelievable new child labor law where bosses can now hire 16-year-olds for mining jobs, 15-year-olds on assembly lines, and 14-year-olds for work in meat coolers. And the state labor department has now released this pamphlet. Swear to god this is real.

All anyone on Bluesky every posts about is Bluesky. Also the people who run this site want to make some weird decentralized crap no one will use so they can abdicate any responsibility toward creating a real community and having any kind of values. Bluesky gets the gas face IMO
