Child Labor, like illegal immigration, like having a narco state on its borders, like endless wars, like keeping opium production at record levels during its unjust, cruel, and senseless occupation of Afghanistan, benefits the US elites.<p>It does not benefit you or I, plebes, but the holy few that are chasing profits at all costs while crushing everyone else.<p>The US has a history of doing highly illegal stuff for profits and the unwashed masses be damned.<p>This is just a lame attempt at saying that there's a problem and it's being addressed. It's like if you know your neighbor is very hungry and instead of inviting them for diner or giving them a nice meal, you give them a crinkled dollar.
