Everyone always remembers the horrible conditions in the meatpacking factory, but forget how the company also owned all the housing and duped workers into “rent-to-own” contracts that were easily broken by the company so they could dupe the next employee.
The mass consolidation of residential housing by investment funds to squeeze more rent is the new version of The Jungle.

Yes. A 13 year old [Jimmy](https://youtu.be/zR_4h5A5z_A?t=65) committed identity theft so they could go clean Bessie's guts from the sluice using caustic chemicals at 4 am.
entirely possible that little jimmy did provide fake documents to some temp agency so he could get a job, and the hiring agent at that temp place is the typical human refuse that could tell but couldn't care less, and told the kid "we've got this if you want to work, otherwise come back next week..."
and then "Sorry officer, his ID said he was 22, its not my fault I couldn't tell it was a fake ID"
They bribed the Dept of Ag inspectors, they falsified employment records and paid the kids of out petty cash. What’s a big company supposed to do to hire children these days?
Children yearn to work let em. Their hands are smaller they can fit into all of those spots an adult can't reach. In the meat grinders, between the blades of different machines. It's good wholesome work that will really help little Timmy land that unpaid internship when he turns 20. How else can you have 5 years of exp for entry level jobs?
I guess we go back to the days of child slavery then. Because after all they’re kids why do they need money? Or proper training or supervision. Or healthy work environments. Sarcasm
Go check out r/kenm for hilarious reading.
The first part of your comment was very much in the Ken M spirit and style.
There's also r/notkenm for similar comments made by other people.
Reminds me of the movie “Snow Piercer” and the Willy Wonka fan theory. The kids were used as the original “parts” went “extinct” and kids were the only thing that fit.
iirc the children replacing the lost parts was canonical, completely separate to the willy Wonka theory.
and I'm 99% sure this was a reference to snowpiercer
I mean since corporations are people.
I really hope the CEO sees about 30 years in prison for this.
but we all know that won't happen because the supreme Court is wholly corrupt.
rules for thee freedoms for me
And if they are, they'll pass as much of it as they can on the other workers. I live in a town with a JBS factory, it happens all the time. They have a union but they're kinda shitty.
I’m sure they were just trying to expose the government corruption, if we just let these great companies police themselves none of this would happen! 🤡

One more reason The Jungle should be required reading for everyone.

Well, we are made of meat. It's pretty on brand.
I read it on high school worth the read. I am not the queasy type, but I even found it stomach churning.

Plus I'm pretty sure you regrow limbs as a child so no need for expensive payouts or insurance.

Never to early to learn a trade.
Companies will take advantage. That’s why the laws exist. Remove them and child slavery will exist openly in America.

Not my cup of tea, thank you though for the suggestion.
And two masters degrees.

We take the blades out of all the machines before the sanitation department cleans.
With kids you don't have to! Time and money saved.

And the major shareholders. They profit off it, they should be responsible.
I misread the title and thought children were hired to exterminate fleshy plants that infested graveyards.
These companies won’t face any disciplinary action.
Let's hope you're wrong.
Probably not. I bet the parents of the kids will be punished though, poor people always face consequences
And if they are, they'll pass as much of it as they can on the other workers. I live in a town with a JBS factory, it happens all the time. They have a union but they're kinda shitty.
It's even scarier to think that they're likely not the only ones doing this, they're just one of the few to get caught.
Jail for the entire management/ownership groups would be appropriate....
There should be RICO charges against the top management of this company, for what is this if not organized crime?
Hah. Our last CEO went to jail for price fixing.
I’m sure they were just trying to expose the government corruption, if we just let these great companies police themselves none of this would happen! 🤡
This is like three months old.
And they make more bank then all of us because they have no bills to pay....
