I'm not familiar with AR child labor laws. I'm absolutely against exploitation of children and recognize that parents aren't engaged/available for many children so the kids interests need to be protected and gov some role in that.
Put the burden of verifying ages and parental approval on businesses and then have serious consequences for violations, including criminal liability. Use the GOP strategy of allowing citizens to bring violations forward. Biz accountability!

Cat Jesus: so that’s when I said “father, forgive them; they know not what they do”… but then, like 3 days later I was BACK— and I still have 8 more lives
I wonder if Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a divorce from America because she’s been sleeping with other countries?

I subscribe to (and pay for) a number of excellent news-focused newsletters. I don't appreciate it when several of them keep imploring me to send more money, using scare language.
This is the same way that online political fundraising works: Give once, and you're the target of incessant exhortations to give more.
Independent journalists, I want you to thrive, but this stuff leaves a bad taste.
Fully agree. But aren't tactics for constantly extracting more at the core of capitalism?
Chevron would like to thank the American people for hunkering down and generously paying more at the pumps so we can get richer faster.
Thank you.

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.
CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.
Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.
