Nothing says "freedom" like 1920s labor laws.

Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants

That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…

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.

Don't think they aren't eyeing up little 13 year olds.

Judging from the Trump Supporting Pastor just arrested, Matt Gatez and the rest, I assume it's not just eyeing the 13 year olds for work.

If they're following GOP Rep Dennis Hastert's plan, it's not just the girls they're attempting to get pregnant

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."

Reason number 11,462,821 why you can never, under any circumstances, trust conservatives with power.

Is this the beginning of child slavery?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Seems to also be pushing for deregulation of worker hours, with the child work stuff being a nice bonus if they can get it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

No, it’s the child slavery 2.0 electric boogaloo

Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.
