Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
Conservative agenda:
Put young males to work until they're old enough to enlist.
Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.
Don't think they aren't eyeing up little 13 year olds.
Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)
Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.
"Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married."
Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…
European here: WTF?
Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.
This is what happens when your government loves business more than people. Do not feed the corporations. They will do this to you too.
lol not even allowed a meal break. Can’t keep them healthy and energised for the job! 🤣
What a shithole America is becoming
America requires immigrants to function and has for almost 250 years.
Well, now we don't. Just need a lot of young pregnant women giving us our next generation of labor au naturale
Nothing says "freedom" like 1920s labor laws.
Oh. Ok, Florida, see you guys are really taking the dystopia thing pretty damn seriously
The US is regressing more and more. I refuse to call it a first world country at this point.
"First world" etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.
What you mean is "developed country" and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You'd have people coming from "developing countries" to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.
Why the hell would you want children working overnight on school nights?
“Worst thing a fruit picker can learn is that they don’t have to be a fruit picker.” - Big Fruit
So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.
Sorry kids, you're not old enough for a lunch break.
Right? This is.... I never wanna hear "Won't someone think of the children" again after this shit
Reason number 11,462,821 why you can never, under any circumstances, trust conservatives with power.
So they gonna get the right to vote? Cause if they are going to be treated as adult they should get vote.
Let's also decrease liquor and smokes to 8 while we are at it.
Also remove child support cause they are grown up to get their own jobs and health insurance.
/s
f these people.
Cool so USA is importing everything ~~I~~ it had exported to third world countries.
What's next USA?
Edit: Came here to add
I'm not against letting teenagers work as long as there are protections. Removing guaranteed meals and overnight work? Nah.
If they’re removing these protections for teens what are they doing to the rights of adult employees?
Dodged the bullet by being born in the 80s. We played Atari and Nintendo after school, then bicycle patrol around neighborhood
Is this the beginning of child slavery?
No, it’s the child slavery 2.0 electric boogaloo
Here I was thinking this was satire. Then I actually searched it up (source: CNN) and wtf?!
Fuck Florida
Serious question: Is this satire?
Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants
That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…
We don’t want them getting spoiled on their graveyard shifts with meal breaks
They yearn for the mines!
Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.
This is where calling universal school lunches privileged leads to
