Red states have been pushing for this for years. "Loss of migrant labor" is just the newest excuse. A few years ago, it was loss of labor due to COVID. However, it's never, "Hey, maybe if we raise the minimum wage, we could get more workers."
So 14 year olds gonna pick your crops or roof your house?
So they work instead of doing homework. The dumbing down of America at work Only in Red States.
You thought the RepubliCons wouldnβt do this? Who didnβt see this coming a mile away? Rip up employment laws, bust unions, delete the social safety net, rip apart education, raise retirement ageβ¦ who needs migrant workers when youβve created a poor, uneducated, compliant, enslaved workforce?
Now I see why the religious right/republicans are against abortion rights. They need cheap, child labour, as well as the old standby; target practice for AR 15s and throw in not giving them school lunches.But they love each and every child before they're born. Just not after they're born!
HYPOCRITS
My mother had to drop out of school and work at a shoe factory at 11 years old to give her mom the $6 a week so that she and her siblings did not starve to death after my grandfather died because there was no Social Security. This is what they want.
Re: "The bill would allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts"...." it also removes guaranteed meal breaks for teens" Fuck these fascist assholes.
It was expected of my grandparents, they would quit school and go to work by age 13/14. They worked hard so that their children & grandchildren would have more choices, more of a future. We're regressing to pre WWI, where only the privileged few would finish their education and go on to University.
Okay, here we go straight back to the 1890s. I was freaked out when their target was the 1950s. They have exceeded my expectations for the amount of insanity they would bring.
This is what happens when Rs are in charge. They say and do anything to get elected without understanding the consequences of their actions. They just want power.
Are you fucking kidding me? Kennedy pushing for later school day cause kids need sleep and you want them to work a night shift? Watch your test scores plummet now you idiots!
Fuck this stupid-face man. Itβs one thing if the family needs extra money or they will lose their home. But now you need kids to work in positions where you essentially fired the whole workforce? Fuck all the way off.
This has been the goal for ruining public schools too. The poor, who canβt afford private education even with a voucher will be so broke by other Project 2025 measures to wreck everything, and unable to afford basics, so theyβll need to send their kids off to work in the fields.
They are slaves (well, they get some ridiculous wages I think), but private citizens are discriminated in the questions of slave ownership. Where's the equality?
How would anyone know if the 14 year old is working for their own money or if their legal guardian is forcing them to work without giving them any money?
Can an evil person send foster kids to the fields through threats and keep the money?
Who is going to check up on the welfare of the kids?
I suppose that is his idea of slave labor! I have grandkids in Florida and would hate to hear he made them work like that. Overnight? Nope, no way would my daughter let him!
"New Bedford, MA, an indigenous Guatemalan labor leader has heard complaints from adult workers in fish-packing who say theyβre losing their jobs to 14yr olds. Ohio, teenagers work in dangerous chicken plants"
Sure, Ronnie create a problem and then fix it with an even bigger problem. What a moron. Talk about idiots that should never have been elected. Heβs the second one on the list IMO.
Florida GOP has got to GO! That cocaine cowboy has done more damage to Fl and Floridaβs tourism than a fucking wrecking ball and now they want to fix it with our children. FUCK OFF REPUBLICANS ππ»
I live in Florida! The wannabe dictator has managed to scare the living daylights out of migrant workers here so he has no one to pick vegetables and fruit or anything else! So now possible desperation has set in! Maybe he should have his three children go work the fields! This is sickening!
Logical. Remember, it's part of the war against children. Make'em work instead of getting an education. Everything is designed and connected in such a way that America will never recover from the attack it is currently undergoing.
Great opportunity for DeSantisβ three under 14 children to learn the joys of a dayβs labor in the field. What a Dad!
Look, they canβt contain their excitement.
Ah, but if the cost of living stays high then families won't have much choice now will they.
If one extra paycheck keeps the family from the streets...
What about all those adult-aged unemployed people who cried about losing their jobs to the migrants? Seems like an awful lot hang around outside malalalago or whatever that dump is....
Its hard enough to get 14 year olds out of bed in the morning to go to school. There is no possible way they can work all night and function at school the next day.
And there it is. The real reason to shutdown the Department of Education. To keep fueling the birth to prison, birth to factory, and birth to fields pipeline.
Women used as factories to produce workforce. Cheap Workforce, no rights, health insurance, education and no chances to get out of this situation. This reminds me at the times, before the people achieved through the unions and protests the rights of the working people and the protection of kids.
Reagan wanted America to return to the robber baron era with a few oligarchs, no unions, no worker power. He especially wanted a less educated citizenry. 54% of Americans read below elementary level. Child labor is the next step.
Why not age 4? Thatβs when my father started working part time. Itβs also why he and other people of the greatest generation supported social safety nets to allow kids to focus on school without starving. They wanted to change things for everyone, not make them suffer too. Shame!
No, no, no. They had adult workers. Strong, capable, willing. No, you don't get to go back to abusive child labor practices in order to make up for the loss of migrants. This is inhumane and insane!
posted the same thing... but did not see.. OVERNIGHT SHIFTS???? monsters. WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL YOU shits? oh wait I forgot, you want everyone stupid and easily controlled.
They don't want kids to get an education anyway. They want an uneducated populace. In the "ideal" America they are building, the native whites are the uneducated slaves that are born into and die in poverty. Which is also why taking away abortion and birth control is so vitally important to them.
Born in a red state, we will give you an inferior education and immediate indoctrination into indentured servitude. Bonus youβll be more susceptible to propaganda and never realize that the government in power took your rights away. They should be angry, but you know trans athletes and immigrants π
Not rich people's kids, of course. Redhats, explain this to me: If immigrants are taking jobs away from American adults, why do you need kids to fill those jobs after you make the immigrants go away?
They don't care about legal. They'll make up bullshit new laws or resurrect old ones. Go back to debtors prisons, maybe? Not many people debt free nowadays.
Proof that education doesn't matter to these assholes. Who could go to school for 7+ hours after working an overnight shift? It'd be awful difficult for an adult to do, much less a child

No democracy, freedoms or good education.
You will all live like Russians do now.
What an AH!!

Welcome child labor.
1. Ban abortion
2. Eliminate free public education
3. Deport migrants
4. Repeal safety nets
5. Nix child labor laws
6. Cause an economic depression
7. Send kids to mines / fields / factories
Govt by the rich for the rich.

Your move, NC.
Heβs a menace to society!
. And left the broken unemployment on line service broken. Intentionally
I could go on. I despise him
And his cancer faking wife!
Look, they canβt contain their excitement.

That pig DeSantis wants this.
Get it right.
Didn't it!!!
What an ass
When do they get to do their homework?

Them uneducated & poor so they have no fight in them.
One needs a degree in robotics for that, so I'd guess they'll get H1-B workers.
I guess you learned from the Taliban that this was OKβ¦
Your kids first..
What an asshatβ¦
Letβs start with the Desantis kids
the level of evil is just off the chart..
There's also a group whom I'll call the "white power" voters.
That is, shoring up white supremacy is their one-issue political goal.
USA makes me very angry

Wondering when workhouses will start opening.
It's illegal to be homeless, so they'll lock them up and lease them out as cheap labor.
It's legal to make a prisoner work as a slave.
This video is long, but covers the topic extremely well.

What happened to all those hard-working Americans whose jobs were stolen by illegal immigrats? Why aren't they filling the jobs? π€
It's almost as if the whole "they're taking our jobs" narrative has been a lie all along
