It really is one of those 'crime is what poor people do' things. A California poultry company for the second time this year was caught with major labor violations, including having kids as young as 14 debone chickens with sharp knives, retaliating against employees who reported things like wage theft, and interfering with investigations. The paid a 2 million dollar fine earlier in the year, and are just getting a 200k slap on the wrist this time.  The DOL also filed an injunction ordering them to stop violating the law or else they won't be able to ship products from the facilities that are already on record as having violated the law multiple times. I wish we were this lenient with normal people violating the law, "Look, we're gonna take 10% of your profits for the year, and if you don't stop selling drugs we'll say you can't sell drugs anymore from the locations we caught you selling drugs at."

Shame Boy posted:Lmao come the gently caress on at least give the lil' tykes workers comp, that's so evil a loving cartoon bad guy wouldn't do it. In the early 1900s, a dude named Lewis Hine took a bunch of pictures of child laborers, and when he published them, we were so appalled as a society that we established a government agency for protecting children, which eventually grew into passing the Fair Labor Standards act banning child labor. And then our reaction to a similar set of photos coming out in the last couple of years was to legalize it to make sure those corporations wouldn't be inconvenienced by not being allowed to feed children into the Orphan Grinder, because somehow as a society we have become more psychotic than we were in loving 1908.

I've seen some of those old pictures and the kids are usually looking directly into the camera and appearing as sad (and often maimed) as possible, meanwhile the meat packing plant kids are all wearing masks and stuff cuz it's a meat packing plant so maybe we just need sadder-looking kids

That's because cartoon bad guys lack the hustle mentality to succeed. Children are a renewable resource. Giving them worker's comp would be like trying to cut open a dead battery and put more juice in there when you could just throw it away and buy a new one.

It's because the workers comp is a 3rd party insurance company who asks inconvenient things like "How old is the worker?" Insurance companies more moral than the factory boss

I'm making more than ever and I like my current job more than previous ones but it's been partly from job hopping more. Also in my late 30s so my career stage has advanced a bit. For me the economic negatives are structural things: healthcare, uncertainty that rent won't increase $300 suddenly again, knowing if I had a kid (somehow) I'd never be able to afford college. I can make my personal situation work for me. I do wonder how other worse off folks are doing though.

I do court reporting (stenography) for social security hearings. It's basically my dream job because since everybody calls in remotely nowadays, I essentially have no co-workers no supervisor no boss and nobody talks to me. Furthermore, in my own way I am helping a good social service help disadvantaged people. Hell yeah The problem is now that I'm getting better and better at typing I'm able to have more and more of my brain power wander and actually listen to the hearings of people who are severely disabled begging for social assistance from judges who really do not care anymore. I had a case recently where the judge said "okay according to the medical record you have multiple malignant cancers in your lymph nodes, intestines and stomach; what *else* makes you disabled and unable to work? " Cases typically revolve (in my experience) around the testimony of the vocational expert, or VE. If the VE can find 10,000 or more jobs in the nation that a claimant could potentially work with their impairments and disabilities, the judge can find them not disabled. Some judges jump at this opportunity, and some VE wield this power despotically. Recently I had a lawyer interrogate that day's vocational expert on how they were getting the job numbers they reported. Turns out they were dividing the entire job pool by various percentages one after another to get their final numbers. Ie, if 25% of jobs don't meet Criteria A and 40% don't meet Criteria B, they reported (100%-25%)-40%, sometimes for a dozen criteria. If you plug in any play-numbers to try this sort of formula, it's easy to see it as mathematic malpractice. The lawyer was pissed and pledged to file a complaint on behalf of his client. Furthermore that expert also determined how many jobs there were in a particular title (ie Dishwasher at diner) by taking the total number in the DOT job group and dividing by the number of jobs in that group (food service workers, in this example) thereby assuming all jobs have an even distribution, which is also completely insane and will give you garbage useless numbers. I didn't have that vocational expert again... For about 3 weeks. Now they are back and every hearing with them puts a pit in my stomach.
