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

Reminds me of when I was a dumb teen and had a bit of a Libertarian phase. Glad I grew up.

William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper (1789) entered the chat

When my mother died I was very young,

And my father sold me while yet my tongue

Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!"

So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.

No no, you don't understand, the free market sets wages! If the boss can't find workers at the rate they set then they have to ~~raise wages~~ ....hire children!!

Florida sliding further backwards doesn't surprise me at all.

But on a good note it looks like Florida's Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it's trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.

Why are they doing this? What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?
