that can be tricky and inaccurate literally

it is your job to try and clarify your shit

(not referring to those whose purpose is to generate confusion)

[sarcasm] so, don't raise the minimum wage, and don't raise the child labor law standards in agriculture. (yes, in the u.s.)

couple of articles worth reading:

"All the misinformation being put out there was really misrepresenting what these rules were. The benefits were overshadowed. The ones who will be paying for that is kids."

meanwhile (right now as i am typing), all i keep hearing from *some people* *coughsomerepublicans-teaparty-teavangelicalwhatevercough* going on about defunding (some would like it gone) planned parenthood! family values! family values! boogedy-boogedy-boo!

wanted to have this one in there too

one thing i wanted to say (out of context of this article) about kids, they can be very adept and skilled with sharp tools. but in context with this article, is more about exploitation.

based on what i am observing, the proud thing seems to be to continue a world of non-caring.

in my head, it is miraculous that we are even here and we should want to cherish that…

clearly it seems to be taken for granted. HATE, EXPLOIT, GREED, KILL, GOD-COMPLEX

what the fuck has gone wrong???

i was hearing on the radio yesterday that there are areas around the U.S. where people do not have access to safe water due to pollution, and failing/aging water and waste water infrastructure.

and the situation going on in flint, michigan is not a pretty one.

a lot of water is wasted too through leaks before it even arrives at the tap.

we really do need to get our priorities straight.
