Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

You can't grasp simple known facts. Sweatshops are outlawed because they are terrible. You need to understand the fact that sweatshops should never be allowed and work forward. You keep trying to come up with reasons to justify them.

You really think that the alternative to sweatshops is automation? You need to get out there a bit!

I still haven't heard any solid arguments on why it's not true. "Children should never be exploited" and the likes do not disprove my point.

Can you give any examples of where what you are saying actually happened? How about cases where the lack of sweatshops made the entire country better off? You need to check you premise!

Lets use your asinine logic.
You would rather see Jews go to a concentration camp than to their death in the gas chamber.

Now my logic. Both are 100% wrong and unacceptable. Any attempt by me to justify or reason why we need concentration camps makes me worse than those who did it.

Here is an example of where stopping child labor in sweatshops made them worse off http://origin-www.unicef.org/spanish/publications/files/pub_sowc97_en.pdf Page 60
Quote
An Agreement In Bangledesh
An important initiative to protect child workers is unfolding in Bangladesh. The country’s powerful garment industry is committing itself to some dramatic new measures by an agreement signed in 1995. The country is one of the world’s major garment exporters, and the industry, which employs over a million workers, most of them women, also employed child labour. In 1992, between 50,000 and 75,000 of its workforce were children under 14, mainly girls. The children were illegally employed according to national law, but the situation captured little attention, in Bangladesh or elsewhere, until the garment factories began to hide the children from United States buyers or lay off the children, following the introduction of the Child Labor Deterrence Act in 1992 by US Senator Tom Harkin. The Bill would have prohibited the importation into the US of goods made using child labour. Then, when Senator Harkin reintroduced the Bill the following year, the impact was far more devastating:garment employers dismissed an estimated 50,000 children from their factories, approximately 75 per cent of all children in the industry. The consequences for the dismissedchildren and their parents were not anticipated. The children may have been freed, but at the same time they were trapped in a harsh environment with no skills, little or no education, and precious few alternatives. Schools were either inaccessible, useless or costly. A series of follow-up visits by UNICEF, local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) discovered that children went looking for new sources of income, and found them in work such as stone-crushing, street hustling and prostitution — all of them more hazardous and exploitative than garment production. In several cases, the mothers of dismissed children had to leave their jobs in order to look after their children. Out of this unhappy situation and after two years of difficult negotiations, a formal Memorandum of Understanding was signed in July 1995 by the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), and the UNICEF and ILO offices in Bangladesh. The resulting programme was to be funded by these three organizations. BGMEA alone has committed about $1 million towards the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding. Under the terms of the agreement, four key provisions were formulated:
• the removal of all under-age workers — those below 14 — within a period of four months;
• no further hiring of under-age children;
• the placement of those children removed from the garment factories in appropriate educational programmes with a monthly stipend;
• the offer of the children’s jobs to qualified adult family members.
The Memorandum of Understanding explicitly directed factory owners, in the best interests of these children, not to dismiss any child workers until a factory survey was completed and alternative arrangements could be made for the freed children....
How about cases where the lack of sweatshops made the entire country better off? You need to check you premise!
Can you bring any examples where the lack of sweatshops made them better off before the country was developed?

Don't force them to do anything, and they won't have to pick either of your options.

What seems to have happened there was more of an issue of going from 0 to 100 in one shot rather than an issue with what was done. Within 2 years it was all worked out. A bit of forethought would have left everyone better off and accomplished the goal without the shortcomings. The issue there was the implementation.

+1. The bottom line is that 'the alternative is worse' is clearly not a long-term answer, both in this discussion of sweatshops and for most problems in general. The fact that in a particular scenario the immediate alternative is worse does not absolve us of responsibility to address a current wrong.

@ChaimMoskowitz would still do it all in 1 day because exploitation of children is terrible. I'm not convinced that they really solved much, they now have to turn away any child who wants to work, leaving them in the same situation as the 50,000 referenced in that report, the only difference is that it's impossible to know what happened to the children who would have gone to work in the factories.
