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.
Not even that. I don’t think there’s a larger political force at work than “we need to make more money and we can pay kids the same wages we paid those immigrants, they won’t know their rights anyway.”
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.

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.
