A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

MAGA “Conservatives” are either evil, stupid, or both. You cannot be a supporter of MAGA and also a good and intelligent person. The concepts are antithetical to each other.
Insane.? Yes. Shocking? No. Escalating? Yes. They've been doing this for decades with prison labor and youth "education" programs. Of course their gonna expand it under the Milkshake Nazis.
It's why every leftist with a brain has been shouting for decades against "work programs" to get food stamps and juvenile detention programs with private prisons. They build the structures for this to make is much easier for the population to accept.
I mean coincidentally they shut down the department of education. Kinda seems like a convenient time to put kids back to work.
Next; children leaving education at 10 to start working.
Well, this is America, and parents are free to make those kind of choices. My children will not be working those fields (especially considering they're in VA). As always, the poor and their children will be the most exploited in this endeavor, but considering these same people are orange voters, I really only feel bad for the children.
"The beatings will continue, until morale improves."
Or the poor stop letting themselves be taken advantage of, and the not so poor, but poorly educated or informed, graduate to better informing themselves. All the information is available out there. People simply need to open their eyes and consume it, instead of being told what to think from a talking head on tv.
It's incumbent upon every member of society to protect the weakest and most powerless, or else you are complicit in wielding the boot.
It is an unfortunate situation in that half the people who voted in the US, specifically voted against protecting the weakest and most powerless. Many of themselves ARE part of that group, but don't want help because it would also help other people.
At this point, those who DO want to protect the weakest and most powerless, are themselves powerless to help.
And don't forget the importance in supporting our institutions, the ones that DOGE is working hard to kill.
The party of "family values" was always referring to the value of their labor potential those greedy pieces of shit were longing to utilize.
Summary of what I understood:
Proposal:
That seems 19th century stuff. Back then, in the bad old times, anarchists shot politcians and workers had street battles with cops over this kind of minor issues.
You know those kids are pretty small as well, I'm sure they can work with chimeys a lot better than an adult.
And remember the follow up... If it's legal for kids to work overnight with no breaks, it'll soon be mandatory or you'd lose whatever social security survives...
And then it'll just be mandatory because there is no social security safety net and you are now officially an indentured servant of the Florida kingdom
I think you would have to be extremely uneducated to be outraged about this now. It’s not a new thing, the party of child marriage and child labour gets elected and you’re shocked about child labour? Are people going to feign surprise when they try to lower the age of consent laws again?
Right, you should be murderously furious, not outraged.
Well, Americans are nothing if not terribly uneducated.
Fair point
Wanna be it'll be brown and black children that owe lunch money?
