After an outcry from the public (largely farmer & ranchers) the feds have dropped planned rules that would have virtually eliminated youth being involved farm/ranch work (including family farm work) and involvement in many 4-H & FFA activities. From driving a tractor to feeding the chickens, the proposed rules would have locked minors out of these essential activities.
The ODumber people at the Labor Dept have cancelled their new regulation plans. Rural kids will still be able to learn a solid work ethic on the family farm/ranch.
Now, about the batch of socialist bureaucrat dipsticks who thought up this hair brained, whining liberal, government intrusion into the private lives of citizens... send em all to Delaware! Maybe ODumber's big stick (in Joe Biden's hands) can be put to good use.
This kind of liberal government, 'control the masses', nonsense DOES happen & it's very real. If you aren't sick of government meddling in private lives yet, you must have missed the basic course: Liberty 101. Got plenty of incandescent light bulbs on hand?

You talk about a load of lollipops.... the labor dept. has almost the same amounts of total idiots per cubicle as the EPA does. My G-d, you're talking about a fantasy-land ruling. Straight out of the "Obuma Comic Book for Dummies!" Hell, I was raised on a ranch in Oregon as a kid, did the FFA thing, baled hay and alfalfa every summer, tended and rode horses, cows, and the girl down the rode, cleaned chicken pens and horse barns and mostly loved every minute of it. These button-down swivel-headed Starbuck jockey idiotic clowns from Obuma's Comic Book probably never physically worked a day in their life! Time to bring in R. Lee Ermey or Chuck Norris to pound some sense into their beady tiny brains and send them to some Gulag in Siberia for a year or two to check on global warming with Al Gore.

Or, we could drag their paper pushin panzyarses off the Least coast and let em work livestock & fix fences for a living. Maybe raking real muck would be an education for em..

We could... but not good enough. Send them to that Gulag in the sky... give them warm 4oz. cabbage soup, month old french bread once a day (the kind you buy in the supermarket and turns hard as concrete before you are able to get home). Dirty brown water and a good case of the shingles. Then set them out into the mines, the fields to empty porta-potty's and bury the remains. ,,,7 days a week... Two years ought to do it.
you do realize they wouldn't last 1 day much less 2 years
