And the Gilded Age returns. The picture I use as my profile pic was taken in 1910 to show that 6-year-old boys worked in coal mines, even that late in our history. And girls in the clothing mills in New England dying in fires in those factories wasn't at all uncommon.

But they're just kids, right? Little children of which there will always be more of for the rich to abuse now that adults are finally able to stand their ground and insist on fair pay, better working conditions, at. al.

How does that state get around the Federal Child Labor laws? Is indentured servitude coming into vogue again?

Thanks for sharing this, I'll reshare as far and wide as possible. Because it isn't something the corporate masters of broadcast and cable networks would ever allow to be widely publicized.
