so awkward when i remember that the united states has had a slave population for its entire existance
Children are bourgeoise sitting in an airconditioned classroom all day learning elitist liberal slop like “gender ideology” and “english” put those little brats to work on the farms where they BELONG
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.”
Republican state Senator Joe Gruters said: “I think we need to let kids be kids.”
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.”

When I was 16 I did part-time work as a busboy at a local mom and pop. I was NOT breaking my back doing grueling labor, this allowed me to focus on important kid shit, like, SCHOOL.
Fucking idiot.
I worked Saturdays and summers after I could drive, but before that I mostly just rode my bicycle and built forts. That’s what kids are supposed to be doing with their free time. Play time is one of the most vital things for kids’ development.
Same, once I was able to drive and got my first hand me down car I worked for fun money to blow on shit like clothes and video games. These freaks want to bring back actual child fulltime labor.
It’s worth noting that agriculture need not inherently involve backbreaking labor with grueling hours, it’s just like that because of the drive to produce as much food as possible as cheaply as possible, even though upwards of 80% of fruits and vegetables (the most manual-labor-intensive crops) can end up getting wasted. Essentially we have a system that exists to torture low-wage immigrant laborers so that grocery stores can have cheap displays of attractive fruit to function as advertisements (and to maintain the illusion of abundance) even though much of it rots unsold because that’s not an efficient way to distribute perishable goods.

Then why aren’t you hiring, dipshit? We’re waiting for your lazy ass to make the jobs. Wakey wakey.
Now just wait a cotton-picking second here… you mean we still have to pay these brats minimum wage? Well what the hell is the point then? We can’t afford to pay people to do this labor!
grumble grumble stupid children clogging up the harvester
Ah yes, classic conservative policies like checks notes Maoism
Silly Florida, The kids love minecraft, Millenials love Stardew valley. They should’ve replaced them with Millenials.
