Are they gonna get kids to do the construction jobs and farm work and insurance jobs and medical jobs and higher ed jobs and all the other jobs that are fleeing the state's hostility to Black & brown people and climate change and education? Child labor gonna be their tax base now?

What is NOT said in this headline: Greedy corporations lobbied Repubs to use racism to distract & divide, all so to increase their profits by exploiting our children as the cheapest and most exploitable form of labor.

Wait, now they want children to take jobs away from MAGA cultist screaming about illegal immigrants taking their jobs away? Seems like "jobs" is code for racism.

God, I hope parents don’t let their kids do this.

Well, doge just cut all overseas grants related to child labor and forced labor. So, if kids can be forced to work cacao fields or mine for rare earth metals, I guess desantis wants to make sure poor Floridian kids don’t miss out on being forced to work the fields and factories.

Eleanor Roosevelt, helped form our nations child labor laws. The issues that she saw from the Great Depression helped her husband form laws that protect children.

Now why would they need children? I thought the illegals were taking jobs from legal aged people? Liars! What’s next, bringing slavery back?

Is the Governor going to have his children set the child labor laws example?

Rhetorical

Next come the "able-bodied" disabled and the mental health patients they want to take meds away from.

DeSantis should have his own kids setting a good example of Republican values by having them do overnight shifts at an Amazon distribution center or harvesting fruits under that warm and cozy Florida sun.

Governor Satin’s Anus is at it again. Another insanely stupid idea from a promoter of abolishing child labor laws. So who will get exemptions, Governor?

Floridians pay attention, these Republicans can’t govern
