Florida "Governor" Ron DeShameless/GOP Legislature reach new low...

So were/are u OK with midnight TILL 2AM basketball?

Being out at 12 1 2 3 am is

whats the difference? out at 2am is out at 2am

In none of those cases did these kids potentially have the financial pressure of not getting paid if they didn't show up or stay like they do at a job.

It's absurd exploiting the child labor of 14 year olds to make the state's employment situation look better.

The assholes of the right knew and were warned that their xenophobic deportation polices would result in labor shortages. Now they're hiding behind children to avoid the backlash.

And their low-life MAGA drone supporters are providing cover for them.

Gang susceptible kids playing basketball until 1 or 2 am as an alternative to getting into trouble is not even in the same universe as making it legal for businesses to employ children from working class families to labor from late at night until the next morning.

Your false equivalence is as pathetic as your gutless party and its gutless leaders.
 
I realize that... I'm just commenting...
It's a valid comment (argument). Only an idiot would put a kid in charge of managing a store at any hour!

You will also find the Tball never read the bill (I did). It requires the teen having already graduated from K-12, or an approval from the school to be employed at those hours. If home schooled, approval of the parents.

All the bill really does is remove government interference from the decision (other than the school's approval requirement).
 
Wouldn't that violate federal child labor law?
No.
If this comes to fruition, it will be the low-income families' kids doing the work and struggling in school. The middle class and rich kids will have even more of an advantage. The Red states already have enough issues with providing quality education. This ain't gonna help.
Indoctrination is not education, Phanty. Intelligence and learning ability is not related to money. You class warfare is just bigotry.
 
Well, the point of this farce is to replace the immigrant workers with home-grown ones.
Good! Kids can make money instead of using illegal aliens!
So they'll be doing *those* jobs -- meat packing plants, landscaping, hotel and nursing home housekeeping, food service in restaurants, harvesting crops, etc. All for minimum wages!
Good! Good experience! Wages will be a market rates or minimum wage, whichever is more.
Minimum wages is fascism and price controls. They never work.

Most crop harvesting is automated, no hand picking required!

Kids will learn how to build houses, become plumbers and electricians later, run a hotel or restaurant, build a successful landscaping company, or even run a meat packing plant.
