Some bad news travels fast.

Last month at work, I was working and hopped on Twitter and saw the breaking news about the (Guatemalan) youth who was crushed to death in an industrial accident in Mississippi.

And, I mentioned the news to one of my (Guatemalan) coworkers, and they had already seen the news.

I also mentioned the other recent deaths of several (non-Guatemalan) youths in other dangerous jobs and I said something like "los Republicanos son locos" ("the Republicans are crazy"), and I also said something about how they want children to work in dangerous work, but they had not heard of the other deaths, nor of the Republican position on child labor and workplace safety.
