I really can’t think of a quippy response to this. The cruelty is flabbergasting. They’re actively campaigning for future generations to be worse off than they are.
I can’t get over the quote from the bills author when he says “Give me a break”. In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsors the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said people have been too critical of his bill. “The wording is ‘we’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he says. "These are young adults.”
This is the quote and it’s appalling.
People are LYING! We’re NOT trying to harm Children! We’re trying to harm Young Adults!
-That guy.
Headline makes this look like a law was passed. It passed committee and is going to the floor for a vote. And then the Senate. And then the governor’s desk. This is far from being a done deal.
9 of 10, or more, outrageous headlines are like this around here. Yet I would wager every one of you thinks a law was passed from reading the headline.
Forcing kids to work without Lunch Breaks, Water Breaks or any Labor protections is called PROTECTING THE CHILDREN!
