That’s a raiding attempt coming from “A Boring Dystopia” community user.

Oh? Whats the issue. This seems normal fare for here.

computergeek125,

As a complete outsider to the situation, that article makes the company appear to be exploiting child labor and then putting a positive spin on it for the news.

Hardly the best first impression.

Child labor

Well, yes. But with a positive spin (if you like jam).

There is no positives to child labor.

Not having to pay more then min wage and jam in this case.

I’m going to pretend that didn’t happen and go about my day.

HikingVet,

What in the utter fuck?

HikingVet,

Fuck that company. Factory workers should be at least old enough to have graduated high-school or equivalent.

Child labour is uplifting news?

I think the intent is to poke fun at all the uplifting news here that is not so uplifting if you think about it for half a second

Like school children having their lunch debt paid off is super cool and fun except they should not have lunch debt in the first place

Baku,

It is indeed. I’ve got no clue what it’s like here, but I know in the old community on the red alien site, just about everything on uplifting news was something like “7 Year old boy sells 75,000 glasses of lemonade to pay for sick mums cancer treatment”. Something that seems uplifting for the first 3 seconds then just becomes extremely depressing the more you think about it.

The news article was posted in ABoringDystopia and someone made a joke about how it should be cross posted to here, and I guess OP took it seriously

Your thinking of the orphan crushing machine meme.

Upliftingnews used to be something else as per the sidebar, although it seems abandoned by mods.

7,000 student having racked up 1 million dollars in lunch debt is uplifting news?
