Unfortunately, not as bad as my state. "In Oklahoma, employees under 18 years old who have not graduated high school, and students under 22 enrolled in school, can be paid below the standard minimum wage. The state minimum for these exempt, non-student, or minor workers can be as low as $2.00/hour"

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

That's fucking slave wages, what the fuck are we doing
Slavery 2.0
Capitalism.
That's fucking evil. "If you want a better paycheck then you can go die in a war for oil."
That statement has been true for decades. The military is easily the best social ladder in the US. I went from Walmart to a six figure job with one enlistment.
Damn, I wonder why birth rates are going down. /s
Not so fun fact; this has been the case over here in the Netherlands since at least the 1980's. On a scale of 1 to 10, how progressive are we now?
Damn 5 euro an hour for the youngests, you were not joking. But I suppose it's not common?
