newsweek is a conspiracy peddling right-wing rag, please stop driving traffic to them
Sure, lets hire children for everything, I mean everything:
“I’m bored, my mom grounded me”
“Hey wanna play a game?”
“What?”
“Lets, turn the keys, see what happens.”
“…”
“C’mon pussy. There’s nothing fun at home anyways, you’re grounded. This is gonna be fun!”
“Um… fine…”
“Alright, 3… 2… 1…”
keys are turned simultaneously

We did this already, why must we repeat the worst parts of history?
When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
Lol! Good luck getting teenagers to work those kinds of jobs in the 1st place. But expecting them to work overnight, then go to school…without any meal breaks?
LMFAO!! Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea? Unless they’re planning on forcing kids to do this, it will never happen.
Someone I knew was hard-core conservative and thought forcing (other people’s) kids to work was a fucking great idea. When asked about the dangers of working in a industrial kitchen or a meat packing plant he said he wasn’t worried about that at all. Insurance companies would never allow it.
He spouted all kinds of other right wing BS that was almost as disturbing. That kind of nutcase is exactly who the fuck thought this would be a good idea.
Uugh. That’s so dumb. Insurance companies simply wouldn’t cover them…but that wouldn’t stop those companies from employing children. Especially if conservatives are dismantling work place safety regulations at the same time.
I think they’re expecting an influx of dropping out to enter the
wage slave marketwork force. So for them, it’s hitting a triple - less expenses to education, a less educated populace, and a locked-in-for-life service industry workforce.
Good. But I don’t agree with anyone I know that Florida “isn’t that bad.”
I don’t have a map of statistics where bad shit happens, but if I did, Florida would stand out.
It’s a fucking swamp. Humans aren’t meant for that environment. (Actually, I don’t know if humans ever naturally adjusted to swamps, it just seems like tons of horrible ways to die)
There were native tribes living there prior to the Europeans coming.
The bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours.
While sane and modern countries use this time to educate children and ensure they don’t need to work graveyard shifts during high school even go so far as funding their higher education so they can become highly-functional and productive tax-paying members of society, America begins its foray into bringing back child labor to backfill some of the most grueling and thankless jobs in the country.
Great fucking job you fucks
It’s not about backfilling the jobs, as much as it is about indoctrination into the slave work force and destroying their academic education.
I don’t think they’re planning on anyone growing up to pay taxes. They wanna make their cash today.
well… isn’t this the same crowd that wants to get rid of the IRS?
Yep. “Now that you don’t pay taxes, your boss can pay you less and you’ll still have higher net pay.”
It’s all for the oligarchs. They don’t give a shit about the people.
I don’t know why they bother. Unemployment is probably going to be rampant by this time next year. No need to work kids to death when they can just starve them.
What in the 1600
Just imagine… Kamala was somehow worse.
/s for those easily triggered assholes
Not Florida but:
Rotschy, which routinely hired teenage workers amid recent labor shortages, violated the law when supervisors assigned tasks known to be dangerous and prohibited for minors to perform.
‘Beyond failure’ – Washington teen loses legs at school-based work program
Republicans fucking suck
Worse. They actually vote.
The bill have allowed 16 year olds to work 8 hours over night with no lunch/meal break while also attending school during the day. It’s slave labor.
Isn’t his state the same one that removed worker’s protections from heat, like mandatory water and cooling breaks for outdoor workers? Or was that Texas? Fuck both him and Abbot in the temple with a crowbar, either way… Fucking ghouls.
Yeah, FL not just removed it, they stated no local areas could implement their own and that contractors were banned from implementing anything of the sort for their employees. Not sure if anyone has checked on hospitalization/ death from heart exhaustion or heat stroke since that was signed in to law.
Who bans employers from protecting their workers?! Seriously!
I do believe Mr. DeSantis should put his money where his mouth is, and have all of HIS children work these shifts, thus showing effective leadership with a prime example of how parents should treat their children.
I mean, if it’s a good policy, he wouldn’t mind making his children work, right?
I do believe Mr. DeSatan should put a loaded gun where his mouth is.
Rules for thee, not for me…
A season in the fields would do his kids good.
His are different and special 💰. Yours on the other hand…
It would have only worked if those were mining jobs. You know how them kids yearn for the mines. Minor miners.
Sadly, Florida doesn’t have the right geology for mines.
Unfortunately for Floridians there are definitely open pit mines in Fla.
“No sixteen year olds want to work these days”
I understand you are joking, but can never pass up an opening to post this:
Oh word? Maybe try replacing republicans with humans.
That would require morals and an actual functioning vertebrae.
