Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
Conservative agenda:
Put young males to work until they’re old enough to enlist.
Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.
Don’t think they aren’t eyeing up little 13 year olds.
Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)
Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.
“Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They’re still married.”
Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…
That would be a great point if not for the “rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!”
Stupid lib!
What?
lol not even allowed a meal break. Can’t keep them healthy and energised for the job! 🤣
What a shithole America is becoming
Nothing says “freedom” like 1920s labor laws.
The US is regressing more and more. I refuse to call it a first world country at this point.
“First world” etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.
What you mean is “developed country” and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You’d have people coming from “developing countries” to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.
Yeah, exactly. First world was allied with the US. Second world was allied with the soviets. Third world was basically everyone else, and was largely considered irrelevant to the Cold War. That’s why “third world” became a signifier of undeveloped countries; If a country wasn’t part of the Cold War, it was likely because they didn’t have enough developed resources or manpower to be considered a war asset. If they were developed enough to contribute, one of the two sides would have already been working on recruiting them to the war.
Yes but the “American Dream” was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.
I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing “executive orders” actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.
USA is a third world country with a Gucci belt.

Sorry kids, you’re not old enough for a lunch break.
Right? This is… I never wanna hear “Won’t someone think of the children” again after this shit
It builds character. Malnourishment is character.
Legoland used to have a sign “Turning minors into miners” at the toy mine exhibit.
Fun fact, if you have a photo it might be the only one out there
It would have been near this display iirc.
Why the hell would you want children working overnight on school nights?
“Worst thing a fruit picker can learn is that they don’t have to be a fruit picker.” - Big Fruit
Even worse, that they’re the ones generating the money.
So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.
An Uneducated Labor Force also ensure those laborers can’t compete for better positions, or demand better conditions.
However, they also result in the country slowly trending towards irrelevancy
In today’s economies, everything is about high skill labour. It really is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
They’d rather be lords of the shit heap than citazens of anything better.
And a fantastic, “ask no questions” kind of military force
That is irrelevant because they are also removing schooling for the children that will be taking those jobs.
~Supposed to be read somewhat /s but also not really /s because that is the plan~
Imagine the kids get smart and start thinking on their own as adults. They would no longer vote Rep. Imagine that!
Florida does not care about education
Why the hell would you want children working overnight
on school nights? FTFYSo that only the children of rich parents can get a good education.
the fine for truancy can range from $250 to as much as $500
local truancy officers who have the authority to arrest habitually truant youthsPrivate prison corpos have to get them some too
Haven’t you heard? The DOE is dead. No more pesky school to get in the way of these children’s productive hours! Ah, utopia at last.
Reason number 11,462,821 why you can never, under any circumstances, trust conservatives with power.
Cool so USA is importing everything
Iit had exported to third world countries.- Authoritarian dictatorial leadership ✔️
- Child exploiting sweatshop ✔️
What’s next USA?
Edit: Came here to add
- Detention without due process ✔️
Police stealing money from citizens. Civil forfeiture.
Fascism is when Imperialism returns to the Core.

Jinkies, it was old man @reddit_sux spreading human suffering to the third world the whole time!
Damn Samsung autocorrect.
Transferring American achievement on to me.
Dodged the bullet by being born in the 80s. We played Atari and Nintendo after school, then bicycle patrol around neighborhood
I was born in the 80s. I had a paper route at 13 so I could buy an OG PlayStation. Definitely not crazy shift work, but I wonder how a 13 year old could find employment for some spending money these days.
Florida’s new State motto is “The Most Cruelty Under the Sun”
Fuck Florida
Is this the beginning of child slavery?
No, it’s the child slavery 2.0 electric boogaloo
Seems to also be pushing for deregulation of worker hours, with the child work stuff being a nice bonus if they can get it.
Here I was thinking this was satire. Then I actually searched it up (source: CNN) and wtf?!
Supplying a source is important and is actually OP’s job, to avoid the spread of misinformation. Thank you for doing it for them.
Yeah, completely agree. Taking a photo of a TV screen showing the headline is just lazy.
The state has been easing up on child labor protections for years. Last year, the legislature passed a law allowing home-schooled 16- and 17-year old teens to work any hour of the day.
Ooof. They are literally targeting the people who are active followers of their capitalistic cult. These people are deranged.
