That's not how laws work.

If you break the law, you deal with the consequences.

It's not a "game system" where additional infractions lead to multipliers of consequences.

Child labor laws exist because we saw what happened in the past when they did not exist. We, as a society, care about our children enough to protect them. That includes preventing them, by law, from working in industrial environments.

Some states seem inclined to repeat the past by repealing or loosening child labor laws... .

Now another child is dead as a result.

Agreed.

I only mentioned my range because then perhaps it would move to a different column in their budget.

25 million is nothing to Amazon.

A couple of billion might move it into an enterily new spreadsheet and maybe even precipitate a meeting to figure out who needs to be fired. Maybe.

They are framing it about child labor because a child died.

Who/What agency is investigating the death is not relevant to the fact that a child died while working in an industrial setting.

They are framing it the way they are because they do not think that children, or teens, should be legally able to work in these kinds of settings.

This isn't a "fine" to Amazon. 25 million dollars is just the cost of business.

Make this 250 or 500 million and then... Maybe.... it's a fine.

Propane can also be delivered in many areas.

I REALLY wish there was a way to exclude shorts from YouTube results entirely.

Give me a similar game to Atari 50 but set during the peak of the C64 games and I'd be a very happy guy!

I'd love a remake and commentary on Below the Root, Montezumas Revenge, Raid on Bunling Bay etc.

The Re-booted Yars Revenge on Atari 50 is really fun...

Looks great. Did you see anyone else?

I miss catalogs like this.

I know we can look and find almost anything, including nostalgic things, online but there was something special about getting one of these and leafing through it.

I like his lolling tongue. It's like he passes out while panting.
