They yearn for the mines!
How absolutely ghoulish
That’s fascism for you
Reminds me of when I was a dumb teen and had a bit of a Libertarian phase. Glad I grew up.

Guys who wrote this bill probably: "The children yearn for the mines."
Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.
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…
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.
Reason #8,994 why I left FL. My tax dollars no longer contribute to this shit.
onion right? right? turning the debate on "free meals to school kids" to "should we feed kids working in the mines". Nice progression M'URICAH

Fuck Florida
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?
