      Sure, that sounds good and all but do you understand the UN doesn’t have any legal power over its member nations? I’m interested in realistic, enforceable legal outcomes, not utopian dreams.

      Your idealism is fun, but you really need to read more and travel some to start peeling off that thick layer of naivety.

          Ah, I get it, you meant the US should voluntarily adopt UN labor regulations over defining their own because you assume UN regulations would be categorically better than what the US would ever define on their own.

          Have you ever actually researched that or you just go from the premise that UN is better than the US because it’s not the US and the US is bad?

                  Yeah, it’s easy to trust powerless things. The fact that you think that indicates they’d be trustworthy with power is a bit concerning, but I am genuinely enjoying your idealism.

                  Maybe look that stuff up sometimes, though it could damage your faith and maybe you prefer the bliss of ignorance.
