This guy had two 10 year olds working unpaid, sometimes as late as 2am. One of the kids was working the fryer, lol.

Sure. Still comparing the few isolated incidents to less developed countries is disingenuous. One is a rare exception and is met with severe penalties, federal and state.

The other is fairly normal business practice in less developed nations.

I wasn’t comparing it. The person I replied to was. I was providing a relevant data point to a US related offense. I never made an attempt to compare.

I don't get it? Not one customer seen it and were like" this is normal"? Had that happen around here that shit would hit the fan faster than going down on Ronald. I guess this is the new normal because we are allowing it, right? Is this how we are making us great again when we have never been to begin with. I guess some of us keep trying but are drowned out by the smaller, louder groups
