Drag queens read stories: “Think of the children!!”
Heinous labour abuses: “It’ll build character!”
No no no, they’re just removing bureaucratic red tape!
Right, because when capitalists win, we all win! /s
I honestly thought it was an onion article when I read the part from the state representative saying children tell him they'd rather work instead of have a lunch...
EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS: Repeals the provision of law relative to recreation or meal periods for minors
I would love to hear someone try to argue why this is a good thing. I expected some language to try to make it sound beneficial, but nope.
Conservatives have abandoned all pretext. Trump showed them they don't need to hide. They don't need to pretend they care about people. They don't need to act like they aren't corrupt. They can simply do what is in their own best interest, because conservatives will support them.
Comical levels of villainy. That's how I choose to read this bullshit in an effort to preserve my fucking sanity.
My naive European ass thought it talked about people working with children... and I got ultra mad about that. How do they dare to make a kindergarten teacher go without a break ? That's insane!
Then... Jfc. I'm not sure I should have read the comments to find out.
The guy who pushed this bill owns a bunch of Smoothie Kings and hires child workers.
What a shit hole state.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
