Is this who we want to become?!

@georgetakei Instead of admitting they were wrong and changing, they would rather have their own children and families suffer and be stupid. WOW!

@georgetakei If passsed, marginalized communities will be hit the hardest, exploiting children who are poor. It’s hard to keep up with these people. It’s easier to just think of the shittiest thing that can be done, and assume that they’ll do it.

@georgetakei also that line at the bottom about not having enough immigrants to do that kind of menial labor.... It's sickening that that was accepted before!!
AI should be used to do those jobs, so humans are free to pursue art. But it seems to be the other way around !!!
This is bad.. very very bad.

Come to Canada — the land where you can do science while your kids are in school. 🫥

@georgetakei Well if you need to replace the cheap immigrant workforce to make the lazy old retired folks in Florida comfortable, why not take the rights of the young and vulnerable underpaid workers away ??

@georgetakei You want to bet which state will re-implement slavery first? Georgia? Texas? Iowa?

Nobody knows the blood, sweat, and tears spilled by the labor force better than Donald Trump. 🙄

@georgetakei - and for anyone who may somehow be genuinely confused as to the problem: The words "be forced to" are missing between "can" and "work".
This isn't about allowing kids to work more; it's about allowing employers to make them.
Also, "no meal breaks" is pretty self-explanatory, dunny why you were confused to begin with.

I still have enough faith in Americans to second-guess this proposal as some Steve Bannon 'flood the zone' nonsense.

Noone wants this, everyone hates this, so its a great distractions for the limited attention span of the people.
I think this is one of the red herrings thrown out to the public, so they don't know what to focus on.
It's like we see the psychology behind click-bait applied to the marquees of our government halls. (yeah, they have marquees now)

@georgetakei Watch as the works of Charles Dickens end up being simultaneously praised as works of classic western (AKA white) literature to be proud of and banned from schools for being too woke for being anti child labour.

@georgetakei I'm old enough to remember when such terms would be considered slavery.
Be sure to post names, so we can boycott every place that takes advantage of these changes. That includes the entire McDonald's chain if they do it (and we just know they probably will...)

@georgetakei Well, somebody has to do the work when Trump has thrown out all the immigrants. You still want your burger, don't you? And when the kids are working, they can't do weird stuff like finishing school or writing leftist articles on social media. Win-Win.

@georgetakei Mining. You should release mining for children again. The little ones are great when coal or ore has to be mined in these narrow little seams.

@georgetakei Still trying to figure out why children are needed. Last I checked, Trump voters were suffering because immigrants took their jobs. Well…the jobs are available.

Florida Republicans want to allow - meaning force - teens to work overnight, on schooldays as well as Saturdays? What next, mandatory wearing of Lederhosen and singing the Horst Wessel song?

@georgetakei
A very clear majority of USians want this or are OK with it, so.... yeah.

If you're eligible to vote and didn't vote against the GOP candidates all the way, we all justifiably judge you as supporters of all this.

@georgetakei Just wait and see what the USA will become next month. Maybe slave trade is American again.
A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
