This New Gilded Age 0

The Des Moines Register takes issue with Iowa’s recent attempts to bring back child labor. Here’s the beginning of the editiorial:

Iowa businesses have been openly disregarding federal rules about when and how much children can work, and the federal government has taken notice. Who are the victims?

    1. The exploited children.
    2. The owners and managers who scheduled the exploited children.

If you picked 2, congratulations! You’ve mastered the increasingly popular art of transforming guilt into grievance.

Ye Olde Misdirection Play 0

Peter Jensen has a few words to say about the “Biden is old” misdirection play. For one thing, he points out that Biden is only three years older than Trump. For another thing–well, he points out a number of other things. Here’s snippet:

Personally, I cringe a bit when either gentleman tries to be hip. Better that they can both claim they still have their original hips. Biden may walk with a bit of a stiff gait and sometimes show balance problems, but Trump can’t accurately recall what happened in the last election or on Jan. 6, 2021. Plus his major ambition for a second term appears to be getting revenge on Americans who don’t bow to him. Better that Gramps gets around a little slow than slowly getting around to a dictatorship as my kids always say.

Gutting Out the Vote, Reprise 0

Lemont is reading a letter:  Dear Voter:  As you know, there have been almost no incidents of voter fraud in this state.  In response, we have purged tens of thousands of suspicious voters, such as yourself, from the voter rolls.  To be reinstated, you must schedule a hearing to provide us with a valid ID, birth certificate, and third-grade report card.  If you are a 993-year-old minority without a birth certificate, simply have your parent verify your citizenship.
