The left gets overwrought about child labor overseas but overlooks the alternatives and results of getting their way.

In west Africa children who once worked on plantations were the last pennies that kept a family from starvation. Well meaning lefties come along and harass the owner to stop hiring children. The children then become too expensive for the parents to care for. The kids end up begging in the street, enslaved in drug or sex trades or fighting in African child armies.

Which proves that the road to hell is still paved with good intentions.
