Headline from 100+ years ago:

'Who dreams up this balderdash?': Andrew Carnegie slams new idea pushed by labor unions that will force employers to give workers two days off at the end of every week

or maybe:

Republicans continue effort to erode US child labor rules despite teen deaths

Oh wait, no... That one was from last year https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death
