      I think they’re expecting an influx of dropping out to enter the wage slave market work force. So for them, it’s hitting a triple - less expenses to education, a less educated populace, and a locked-in-for-life service industry workforce.

      Someone I knew was hard-core conservative and thought forcing (other people’s) kids to work was a fucking great idea. When asked about the dangers of working in a industrial kitchen or a meat packing plant he said he wasn’t worried about that at all. Insurance companies would never allow it.

      He spouted all kinds of other right wing BS that was almost as disturbing. That kind of nutcase is exactly who the fuck thought this would be a good idea.

    Good. But I don’t agree with anyone I know that Florida “isn’t that bad.”

    I don’t have a map of statistics where bad shit happens, but if I did, Florida would stand out.

    It’s a fucking swamp. Humans aren’t meant for that environment. (Actually, I don’t know if humans ever naturally adjusted to swamps, it just seems like tons of horrible ways to die)

    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.

        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.

    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?

    Not Florida but:

    Rotschy, which routinely hired teenage workers amid recent labor shortages, violated the law when supervisors assigned tasks known to be dangerous and prohibited for minors to perform.

    Sure, lets hire children for everything, I mean everything:

    “I’m bored, my mom grounded me”

    “Hey wanna play a game?”

    “What?”

    “Lets, turn the keys, see what happens.”

    “…”

    “C’mon pussy. There’s nothing fun at home anyways, you’re grounded. This is gonna be fun!”

    “Um… fine…”

    “Alright, 3… 2… 1…”

    keys are turned simultaneously
