The spiral down the barrel of crazy that has been the journey of U.S. capitalism over the past few decades has been quite the ride. Like an amusement park horror show that is low on staff, high on broken rides, and the cotton candy is made with pink carcinogens. Great on taste, hell on your lymph nodes. And just when you thought the corporate carnival barkers couldn’t get any more sleazy, now they are coming for your teenagers.

Yes, child labor is back en vogue for U.S. business. So much so that business groups are now putting pressure on state legislatures to relax long standing child labor laws. Why have just mom and dad forced to work dead end, low paying, soul crushing jobs when you can get their kids too, and for less money! Talk about your after school special.
