Ronny DeSantis doesn't want to put his cute galoshes on and do a REAL job? Shocking.

Do the kids get a union card and full minimum wage as their starting pay? DO THEY?

Ask Cern

They don't want them going to college, either.

CHILDREN WILL DIE ...But the hand was gone already. The doctor put him in the dark of ether. He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath. And then—the watcher at his pulse took fright. No one believed. They listened at his heart. Little—less—nothing!—and that ended it. "Out, Out" by Robert Frost

So...construction workers, farm work, and home heathcare?

Oh yeah, capitalists whacking off at the thought of a disposable, young, uneducated workforce with no idea of rights and courts that won't care as long as they get donations.

God, that's disgusting. Kids have no family support, so force them into slavery. Thats why they're trying to abolish any social security safety net to force the poor into a cycle of a lifetime of slave labour to oil the machines of capitalism and the rich. America is not a first world country, sorry

Well, the shoe continues to drop. Let's get those late 1800s, self-liberation jail/work camps going again. Oh, I forgot, there are already for-profit correctional institutions in the US. Let's just expand them and lower the age of recruitment - er - incarcerable offences.

Terrifying.

The children yearn for the mines

This is sickening. I’m a Floridian, and I’m so grossed out and pissed off. Many people in Florida don’t support this! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

We're rolling everything back to the Gilded Age.

Tbh this was the “school choice” movement’s answer about poor parents not affording private schools

So which of these totally-normal-for-teens, 3rd-shift-on-a-school-night jobs are desantis’ kids going to be working? Anyone ask him that?

I cannot like this comment enough!

I’m waiting for undesirables being rounded up and put in work camps rented out for these jobs.

Because then they’d have to pay them actual minimum wage. Hiring legal adults costs money, after all. It’s why illegal immigrants were popular hires, after all.

Exactly.

Agreed

😡

Well, also, with RFKJr's changes to HHS and science-based medicine, and the gutting of Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid, people will die before retirement age. That gap needs filling, too! /sarcasmnotsarcasm

I expect they're related. I assume part of the reason for this strategy is to increase dropout rates, as kids make shortsighted choices between a wage that looks decent at 15 or 16 vs. continuing in high school. Lower enrollment will be part of their push to gut public education.
