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.

…

Governor Ron DeSantis said during a panel discussion in March: “Why do we say we need to import foreigners, even import them illegally, when, you know, teenagers used to work at these resorts, college students should be able to do this stuff? … What’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.”

Mmhmm, so you used to work overnight during a school day?

Republican state Senator Jay Collins, the bill’s sponsor, said the measure was about parental rights: “We should let them say what’s best for their kids at 16- to 17-year-olds, that’s what we’re saying by this.”

What complete and utter horseshit. It’s already legal for them to work more as long as they have parental permission. This bill is about helping companies to normalize exploiting underpaid teenagers by removing the extra steps of actually giving the parent their say.

“It would also have scrapped required 30-minute meal breaks…”

Supporters of the measure included Moms for Liberty

so they wanted to “save children” so they can work in factories for fifteen hours a day.

Of course they want child labor. Who else could they get to replace a silent population of workers who are unempowered to fight against abuse?

It would also have scrapped required 30-minute meal breaks

That is just mean.

Ah yes, the same state which is suing Roblox and discord for child exploitation… Hmmmm…

But they look so cute! Who wouldn’t want to see this make a comeback:

Florida

Uh oh…

Plan to replace migrant workers

Ah that’s entire expected. :'(

with children

THE FUCK?!

What the fuck is wrong with people in Florida. How do people own guns and let these deranged lunatics in suits parade around for even a single day?!

“We should let them say what’s best for their kids at 16- to 17-year-olds, that’s what we’re saying by this.”

Except if it is about what to read or nacked nipples.

The yearning continues

Everything was working out, then they had to take a nap.
