Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants | CNN Business

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.

Great to see Republican embracing who they are: Child abusers.

Good news: nobody needs a chimney sweep these days
Bad news: we have even more dangerous mechanical monsters that could use little hands
Florida always 1 uping itself.
- Mechanical monsters?

I really thought this was the onion. Satire is dead. Republicans are scum.

Fuck dem kids, right Florida? Those little fingers are great for picking fruit. /s
- Fuck dem kids, right
  Don't worry they are on that too.

We DoNt NeEd MiNiMuM wAgE lAwS, ThE mArKeT fOrCeS pAy ChAnGeS!

- Unbridled capitalisms only real end game is slavery.

Where's the 'think about the kids' crowd now lol
- Oh they're thinking about the kids alright. As a cheap resource

Florida doesn't have mines, so how could the minors yearn for the mines?
- The mines are metaphorical now.
- They will be mining oranges...
  
  Florida doesn’t have oranges anymore because they failed to regulate the spread of disease. It’s very on bRand.

Oh boy, I definitely want kids now. 🙄
- It's the only way you'll be able to survive past 70 soon.
- Exploitable labor!
  
  YouTube moment:

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

this must be what they mean when they said they're taking our (kids) jobs

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.

lol ok sure. Fucking go for it. I have genuinely stopped caring about whatever fucking idiocy goes on below the mason dixon line at this point. Fucking confeds.

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.

Fuck dem kids, right Florida? Those little fingers are great for picking fruit. /s

There it is the real purpose of forcing women to give birth

Good opportunity to get ahead of the student loans!
