Conservative Dystopia

I've had a job since I was 15 years old and I was allowed to do that in a blue state. 

[Blarg]

Yup. I was working at age 13 right here in California.

Where did you work?

Installing wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

Lots of youth work on poultry farms and survive.

There's no way you had a legal work permit for that.

I did because I had to at 15. Obviously, I wasn't the lead guy on those jobs at that time. Had that job for 15 years too. 

[Jason]

This tweet of Rico's makes seem like something evil to allow 16 year olds to work. 

[Jay]

Yeah like it's evil conservatism that teaches teenagers to work.

Smart liberals hire illegal aliens.

Bullshit. I'm only a few years younger than you and my first on the books job was at a pizza place. My second week I was asked to deliver and even I knew you had to be 18. I did it and the owner was in the the wrong but it wasn't permitted. 

You may have had a work permit but it wasn't for installing fireplaces.

Teenagers work in every state dumbass. It's the type of work that is the issue.

I guess that's possible but that was a long ass time ago so I don't remember what it said. Bottom line, I think it was good for me to have a job like that and start learning a work ethic at that age. My daughter is about to turn 18 and has not had a job yet. She worked her butt off in school and did a lot of extra-curricular activities there so there wasn't time for the job. She's about to go to Air Force boot camp in a month or so and reality is going to hit her hard when she starts having to work in a real job.

I agree but Rico's post doesn't even say what job they were doing or if it was some really dangerous one. It's possible they were just tragic, wrong place at the wrong time, accidents. If the kid at the poultry farm was operating heavy machines or something then the company should be held accountable.

It’s just a permit for labor. I used to see it all the time when I worked for… get this… a labor inspection company.

No it's not just a blanket labor permit. There are restrictions to what jobs, how many hours, and what hours a teenager can work.

The first 3 lines of the X all said what they did. Once again you douchebags like @Blarg and @Jay just shit out your own thoughts based on the headline.

Why are you bringing me into your argument with someone else? You seem to have a real problem, St1ck and should curb your insults.

Yes no shit there are restrictions. It’s still just a labor permit for minors.

You and Rico should keep fighting for stricter labor regulations. That way more industry is pushed out to safer places like China, Vietnam and India.

I was responding to Jason, not the article and certainly not to you. So cut out the insults.

Yes let's let 14 year olds work in landfills because CHINA doesn't care and that's something we should strive to compete with.

So you responded to Jason's post without knowing the context of what his reply was about?

Take an extreme hypothetical and treat it as reality. It’s the leftist way.

It appears that is what you did. I, however, was just having a conversation.

But so you are informed, I was doing hand fiberglass layup on sailboats along with wood fabrication and finishing which included many harmful chemicals, table and bandsaws along with sanders. 

I'm sure your pizza delivery was much more stressful.
