Just imagine… Kamala was somehow worse.
/s for those easily triggered assholes
The bill have allowed 16 year olds to work 8 hours over night with no lunch/meal break while also attending school during the day. It’s slave labor.
Isn’t his state the same one that removed worker’s protections from heat, like mandatory water and cooling breaks for outdoor workers? Or was that Texas? Fuck both him and Abbot in the temple with a crowbar, either way… Fucking ghouls.
that was texas, florida would do this eventually.
Yeah, FL not just removed it, they stated no local areas could implement their own and that contractors were banned from implementing anything of the sort for their employees. Not sure if anyone has checked on hospitalization/ death from heart exhaustion or heat stroke since that was signed in to law.
Who bans employers from protecting their workers?! Seriously!
Uh, conservatives do. This is not a joke, or a “dunk”, this shit really happened.
Which I’m surprised no cities have challenged this as a sovereignty issue.
Well, not that surprised, but if you’re a city government and figure out that a state government can just completely nullify your labor protections…well, it raises questions of just how much actual legal power you have.
I know that legal power and legal challenges mean absolutely nothing now, considering everything, but still, I’m surprised that the Florida SC hasn’t been hit with questions of “hey I thought we had a right to self-organize”.
Not the onion.
I did corn detasseling for 2-half days (we got rained out on day 1) back when I was 12. I imagine those migrants were much more capable and tolerant of the bs than I was. -I remember the humidity in the fields, the mud, and the desire to vomit.
Oh word? Maybe try replacing republicans with humans.
That would require morals and an actual functioning vertebrae.
There are far less teenagers then migrants. Maybe those businesses should move away from exploitation altogether.
Stop bringing up facts and figures, I have wordly experience!
-The average conservative voter
Voters? I have no qaulm with voters, I hate that how the elected officials act!
I have no qaulm with voters, I hate that how the elected officials act!
do you not see a connection there?
They act that way, because they know that their voters will still reelect them.
So slaves sorry, prisoners have to pick up the slack.
Oh yeah, those too, they are definitely next in line.
Remember, the Constitution allows slavery! Plus, it only bans punishments that are cruel and unusual - punishments that are just cruel or just unusual are fine!
This constitution seems to love lines in the sand as drawn by subjective moralists who falsely think they’re objective.
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.
Good
Republicans fucking suck
Worse. They actually vote.
I do believe Mr. DeSantis should put his money where his mouth is, and have all of HIS children work these shifts, thus showing effective leadership with a prime example of how parents should treat their children.
I mean, if it’s a good policy, he wouldn’t mind making his children work, right?
I do believe Mr. DeSatan should put a loaded gun where his mouth is.
Rules for thee, not for me…
A season in the fields would do his kids good.
His are different and special 💰. Yours on the other hand…
Next year the kids give santa a lump of coal!
“No sixteen year olds want to work these days”
I understand you are joking, but can never pass up an opening to post this:
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.
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 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.
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.
