The children yearn for the head splitters.
tbh this kind of shit was the reason I don't eat animal products anymore, this industry just loves exploiting children and putting workers in danger and ruining lives. Something about the blood just makes the managers bloodthirsty.
- Really? You'd say its the animal abuse but OK
  
  My breaking point was workers being marched to their deaths during the worst of COVID and those Tyson managers literally gambling on it.
  
  Arguably human abuse is a higher priority than animal abuse, but I acknowledge that opinions differ on the subject.
How are Iowans shocked? Isn't this what Reynolds said, that children wanted to work? They keep voting in the person who wants to put their children to work
- Touche.
For some reason the thing that sticks out to me most here is the fact that the packing plant is owned by a company out of Oklahoma and that the Janitorial contractor hasn't just been fined before, it's be fined before in multiple states and has operations stretching from nw Iowa to VIRGINA
- smh my head, it's not even shady small businesses. even the child slavery has been conglomerated into national megacorps
  
  Like, when does such an egregious violation of labor laws become good for business? Somebody had to know this would not end well.
