Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.

Also, this is complete and utter bullshit. I'm older than Ron boy, and child labor laws predate me. The folks picking crops in the fields in the 80's and 90's were the same immigrants that are (or were, I guess) doing it today. And anyone who attended Yale almost certainly wasn't out picking crops as a kid. Like most members of the GOP, he has zero attachment to reality.
