While this being a touching story this will be used by the greedy at the top to justify abandonment of childcare in the long run... in internal discussions. And posts like this are used to normalize the idea.
This father shouldn't be forced to bring his child to work at all.
There's absolutely nothing touching about this
Aww, he's one slip away from crushing the kid's skull on concrete.
Now that's what I call touching!
It kind of touches my rage against uncontrolled capitalism though. Does that count?
touching the new depressing
True.
To me it appears that it's framed that way which is disturbing.
An example on why childcare isn't necessary, but also a reason to fire him because he is distracted at work and not maximizing his productivity.
Nothing is as touching as subjecting your toddler to concrete dust for 8+ hours a day, it's great for their development!
It is saddening that there is no "village" or community to aid such a person in hardship...
Why would there be? There's profit to be gained elsewhere, and that comes before everything else of course.
And that is fucking bleak
Indeed. This world is terrible.
How bad could silicosis possibly be? It's got "silly" in the name!
Also the kid hanging on his back all day. Great way to develop strengh and coordination.
Don't forget the social skills!

Universal Income! Healthcare for all! Etc.
Fucks the greedy bastards.

When this orphan was crushed the community came together and cleaned up the mess to avoid being fined by the HOA.
More uplifting news at 7.
Is this image from America? It's incompatible with all kinds of regulations in the developed world.
There's a #vietnam in the post
It certainly raised my heart-rate.
Vocational Education. He'll be able to learn the construction industry at his own pace. He should be able to start cleaning up debris at around 3 or 4. He'll be operating heavy machinery by 10.
We hate cars we hate capitalism we hate the rich we hate injustice
I'm sure breathing concrete dust is fine for a baby. Good for him even. Builds character while providing his lungs with heavy reinforcement against collapses and drone strikes.
Poor fellas, keep your head up champions, im sure we can create a better world than this.
