In Indiana, 16 and 17-year-olds can now work the same hours as adults and are no longer restricted by school hours and days. They also can work overnight without an adult and perform hazardous agriculture jobs. Many 14- and 15-year-olds can now work during school hours as well.

Beyond the fact that so many of the people getting fired are Warner's own constituents, normal people HATE this shit and increasingly dislike Musk as well. I know Democrats are afraid of public anger and determined not to leverage it for some reason, but at some point this is just malpractice.
