Next year the kids give santa a lump of coal!
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.

Good
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

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 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.
Republicans fucking suck
Worse. They actually vote.
If you push for child labour and have less osha power to keep them safe plus lower regulations on selling tainted meat then on top all that you have courts that don’t hold businesses accountable, you’ll end up with people eating children that fall in something like an industrial meat grinder and even if people do find out they don’t have to recall it, some may even have a choice if they can’t afford something better
What in the 1600
THIS is Why America is on the Decline! Kids need WORK ETHICS not EDUCATION!
-Parents like Elon Musk who Complain about WOKENESS for Why Their Children HATE them!
Dude, seriously FUCK Newsweek. Reddit posts this garbage news clickbait crap all the time. Posting Newsweek trash is just a complete waste of time. Use better, local, independent news organizations instead of a rag that just uses clickbait and sensationalism. Fuck off Newsweek.
Just imagine… Kamala was somehow worse.
/s for those easily triggered assholes
Not a surprise to anyone.
I mean, I’m surprised this wasn’t pushed through the Florida senate.
Considering it’s Florida, yeah I’m a bit surprised. Thankful, but a bit surprised.
I worked for a greenhouse in the Niagara region. We had maybe 2-3 migrant workers at a time and they worked HARD. My boss once said that he would prefer to hire the students from the local horticulture program but he still usually needs a few migrant workers to make sure we get through the season. He then informed me to look closer at the people working the fields around the area. The amount of work being done by migrant workers would simply not get done if they were kicked out. They make up a majority of the labour required so the grocery stores can put 5000 tomatoes on display at a time.
Oh word? Maybe try replacing republicans with humans.
That would require morals and an actual functioning vertebrae.
Teens are a really bad workforce to rely on. It’s always been understood that kids work for their own benefit, and the business just happens to benefit from that. They need a savings so they can move out on their own when they graduate. This isn’t for their benefit, this is so companies can fuel their needs for wage slaves.
Not the onion.
