Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.

Good opportunity to get ahead of the student loans!

college students should be able to do this stuff

Sure, but we're not talking about adults.

including eliminating working time restrictions on teenagers aged 14 and 15 if they are home-schooled and ending guaranteed meal breaks for 16 and 17 year olds

They don't need no education.

Ah right, the "pro life" state that really "cares about dem kids" above the rights and life of the mother.

You know, if they also allowed the girls to get married (to older men of course), that could be the most southern headline there is.

Oh boy, I definitely want kids now. 🙄

Florida doesn't have mines, so how could the minors yearn for the mines?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They will be mining oranges...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Florida doesn’t have oranges anymore because they failed to regulate the spread of disease. It’s very on bRand.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The mines are metaphorical now.

Good news: nobody needs a chimney sweep these days
