Chapter 1905 It won't be long
Child labor is unacceptable to people with a moral bottom line.

It is precisely because they are difficult to accept that the social response will be strong.

After all, there are more good people than bad people, but it's a pity that some decisive things are often in the hands of bad people!
It's a new year, a new day, and the evening's TV isn't so easy.

Several TV stations have broadcast the issue of child labor, and the promoters behind this are the presidential palace and the president himself.

Media that is not politically opposed will not block this issue.

Even the media under the control of the Conservative Party actively broadcast relevant news and free investigation content.

This is actually another way to discredit the Progressive Party, which is more covert and more lethal.

In the evening interview show of Blackstone TV, Landa appeared on the TV screen.

She and the host also chatted around the issue of child labor, further deepening the weight of this keyword in society.

When asked by the moderator whether the situation would improve once the amendments to the Children's Act came into effect, Landa was unsure.

"In some of the cases we investigated, the majority of child labor parents had more than one child."

"These families will have a lot of children, three, four or more, and some families will take the initiative to adopt some suitable children so that they can work!"

"In other words, children and the child labor system have become a way for some morally distorted people to make money, once these people and the children they control lose the opportunity to work."

"The stresses life brings can make these household financial problems worse."

"These adults often don't have jobs, and now that they have no income, they will definitely find a way to solve the troubles they are facing."

"I've talked to some other people about it and they think there's going to be a wave of abandonment of children in the next period of time."

"A large number of children will be abandoned, and even welfare homes and orphanages will abandon some children who have no value to them."

The host's expression is very serious, this is indeed a terrible question.

We all know that children do not have much ability to survive in society. Once they are abandoned, companies prohibit the use of child labor.

This part of the abandoned children lost the possibility of surviving.

Welfare homes, orphanages, will actually do the same.

The biggest problem in a commercialized society is that everything is "commercial", including welfare homes and orphanages.

Most of these institutions are actually private, except for a very few that were created by the federal government.

Welfare homes, orphanages and other charitable institutions mainly come from three sources of income.

First, it is the warm-hearted people in the society who donate materials and wealth.

They will spontaneously donate money and things to such charities.

Then orphanages or orphanages use part of the money for the maintenance of the institution, and the other part is used for salary payment and so on.

If these charities lack ways to solicit donations, their income will be very limited.

Second, financial assistance from charitable foundations.

There are so many charitable foundations in the Federation, and these foundations need to make their annual accounts beautiful enough. Only in this way can they play their true value-tax reduction.

So whether these charitable foundations are willing or not, they must spend money to help these institutions.

Foundations and charities are a mutually beneficial relationship.

Charities receive some funds from foundations for daily operations and institutional maintenance, while foundations continue to receive recognized tax deductions through donations.

Third, from the ground beneath the charity's feet.

The Federation takes great care of individuals or organizations that set up similar charities, and it is often easier for them to obtain land.

Moreover, the land use standards for charities and commercial land use are different, and the benefits and policies they enjoy are also different.

As long as it can barely survive, and the location is not too remote, wait a few years, sell the land and move it to another place, and you can easily get the money for the land appreciation.

In fact, whether it is an orphanage or a welfare home, in the final analysis, it is still a business model with the ultimate goal of making profits and pretending to be a non-profit organization.

As long as it is a business model, there will definitely be two situations of loss and profit.

Not to mention profits, once a loss occurs, these institutions will stop the loss in time.

In order to help more children sell houses and properties, some orphanage directors even sell their blood in the end. This kind of situation can only appear in artistic film and television literature.

In a real society, they will often declare bankruptcy directly and hand over the mess to the government to solve it.

What Landa talked about attracted people's attention, and the host also raised his own question, "So is there any way to solve this problem as much as possible?"

Landa nodded, "When I learned about these things yesterday, I talked with Mrs. Joanna and some other ladies who are keen on doing charity."

"We will try our best to help as many children in need as possible. If the audience in front of the TV finds a child in need, they can call the relevant help number of the local women's rights organization at any time."

"We will find ways to help those children in need as soon as possible..."

A soft ad, but it works well.

Landa is keen to meet more powerful and rich people, and Ms. Tracy's success is stimulating her to work hard to climb up.

She also hopes that one day, she can jump into politics from her current position.

Rather than "Chairman Landa" or "Ms. Landa", she would rather people call her "Governor of Lanta" or "Member of Landa"!
On January [-]th, after more than a week of fermentation, public opinion changed from being emotional at the beginning to thinking rationally and trying to solve problems.

At this time, the Presidential Palace announced to the outside world the details of the implementation of the "Children's Law Amendment Act".

The revised content has been posted on the bulletin boards outside the judicial institutions in various places. After the publicity period, which is one month, is over, starting from February [-], it will be implemented nationwide.

Many ordinary people, people with a bottom line of morality, praised the policy of the presidential palace.

It will improve the current situation of exploited and oppressed child laborers in the Federation, but there are also some people who are very dissatisfied with these policies.

"...he is too messy!"

In a room in the manor, Frank sat in the most prominent position, surrounded by some other capitalists, some even from other places.

A higher minimum age limit for child labor, revised working hours and the security guarantees that must be provided have dealt an almost dire blow to light industry!

Heavy industry does not use child labor, and those children cannot lift hammers weighing more than ten pounds.

Child labor is mainly concentrated in light industry and handicraft industry. These things do not require much strength and professional skills, and can be employed after simple training.

Many such enterprises in the Federation use child labor.

Their hourly rates are much cheaper than those of adults, and the cost of employing two child laborers is less than the wages of employing one adult.

Compressing costs within a reasonable and legal range is a skill that every capitalist must master.

But soon, they won't be able to do this anymore!
Someone complained to Frank and the other gentlemen sitting in the middle, and the faces of the people on the periphery were sad!
"There are about [-] child workers in my factory. If I want to replace them with adult workers, I need at least [-] workers."

"I have to pay about 20.00% to 20.00% of my salary for this every month, which makes my cost higher and I may face a loss!"

"We should find a way. I support low-intensity use of child labor, but the solution to these problems should not be such a strong ban!"

"It should be more orderly and planned to change!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, the physical industry is on the rise, with hundreds of companies being formed every day.

There are always factories in urban industrial areas and suburbs that are constantly being built and expanded.

After the initial golden period, everyone can also feel the obvious competitiveness!

Because there are too many people doing it, even if there is enough market, there will still be competition.

In the end, there is only one way to go in business competition, which is to reduce the expected profit.

Now that the cost is increasing, it is impossible to lower the final selling price, and they will fall behind in the competition with similar products.

Everyone in the room was berating the Presidential Palace for disrespecting the actual situation, and Frank was thinking about other things.

They arranged for someone to contact Peng Jieao. In the plan, they could provide Peng Jieao with an interest-free loan.

At the same time, after the truce, it will bring them more orders and commercial help, and help their market revitalize again.

This is not an easy task and involves many fields.

Now more and more people are dissatisfied with the presidential palace, which also means that they have more and more power in their hands.

When this power expands to a certain level, no one can stop it from doing what it does!
Moreover, the more hatred is brewing, the stronger it is!

"Everyone..."

When he opened his mouth, everyone shut up.

It is reported that the "Jerry & Days" group may push a president to power again after Mr. Truman.

Judging from the current situation, this lucky gentleman is likely to come from the Progressive Party.

After all, as long as the war is won, the Progressive Party can enjoy the political dividends of this war victory, at least one victory and one re-election, at least!
Capitalists are very interested in this kind of low-risk investment. They will choose one of several candidates as they think is suitable, or invest in all of them.

All in all, a force to be reckoned with!

All eyes were on Frank, he said very reservedly, "Now is not the time, gentlemen."

"The war is not over and the will of the president is above the law and Congress."

"Your quarrels and resistance will only bring everything to a more dangerous edge. We need to wait!"

Someone couldn't help asking, "So how long do we have to wait?"

Frank smiled and said, "It won't be long..."
