I thought The Onion was supposed to be satirical???

ruipx.bsky.social•5 days ago

They used to, but nowadays just became more factual than @cnn.com @nytimes.com @msnbc.com etc...

They say Trump voters are protesting outside the WH that they voted for him to be racist, not poor! 😁

Repealing child labor laws = more child pregnancies. Just what the Nazis are demanding!

Picking slag out of coal for 10 cents a day used to be popular among the little ones.

Can I pick fruit in the blazing sun for 10 hours a day?

protector5763.bsky.social•5 days ago

So many white privileged Americans are asking the same question. It’s kind of a fad. But they add if it’s okay to do it for $7.25 an hour with no benefits.

johnfbrowning.bsky.social•5 days ago

this is an Onion post I responded to. no white privileged Americans are asking to pick fruit in the blazing sun

protector5763.bsky.social•5 days ago

Are you surprised?

johnfbrowning.bsky.social•5 days ago

no, what are you on about?

protector5763.bsky.social•5 days ago

John, this is sarcasm. There is a growing issue of no one being available to do the hard work in the fields. The migrant workers live in fear of detainment.

Let's be real, the NYT gave away the game when they published an article that included a weird section about the supposedly "small fingers" of young women in Chinese iPhone factories. They're laying the mental groundwork in readers for the economic value of tiny little first grader hands.

They're going to be broke, like everyone else.

When you send your partner and your kids off to the factory in the morning, so later you can work the swing shift and still make below national poverty level wages.

Children in coal mines would be a great idea. The small children could easily navigate small coal mine tunnels.
