In the posted article? My link is embedded in the original article, I didn’t add it

In a Friday statement, officials said that 10 children without documentation were identified during the two immigration operations in Camarillo and Carpinteria, Calif., at farms owned and operated by the Glass House Brands Inc.

Customs and Border Patrol commissioner Rodney Scott said on Thursday that the company is now under investigation for child labor violations.

Glass House, in response, stated it never intentionally hired underage workers.

The best estimates I can find place the work closer to 1/3rd in Mexico.

With that being said, this specific tariff shouldn’t impact car prices because they would be exempt under USMCA. However, Trump’s steel tariffs will impact car prices.

“US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones,” the union said.

Oof. Also, it’s a little sketchy that they had kids working but I’m sure nobody will be held accountable for that part

Median net worth is closer to $200k. So just multiplying by 3, that’s closer to $1000. But median net worth for that age range is over 400k, so maybe like $2500.

A nice story, but pushing the boundaries, since the story is just over a month old. I’ll allow it since it’s a feel-good story and it hadn’t been posted on here yet.

Complaining about heavy-handed mods? Someone find the deleted post where they said something batshit insane and/or racist!

Isn’t there a thing where they think that the US wasn’t founded in 1776 and there’s some alternate nation and we know because the flag has gold trim? Idk, something like that

So… to summarize the argument: we have to build nuclear plants, even though they are the most expensive renewable per kWh and they take the longest amount of time to build (even by the author’s “fast” timeline standards) because we don’t have batteries that can store wind and solar energy, even though there are multiple emerging potential solutions that could result in days-long storage capacity.

Not buying it. I don’t buy the “unsafe” argument but I also don’t buy this argument

Edit: this same publication that published this op-ed published a pretty negative review of this book, funny enough: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jun/02/going-nuclear-by-tim-gregory-review-a-boosterish-case-for-atomic-energy
