Florida shows real genius, gonna put kids to work!

[Seymour Flops]

Child labor protections could soon be rolled back in Florida. Why?

DeSantis said that a younger workforce could be part of the solution to replace “dirt cheap” migrant labor.

I have seen few ideas better than Florida's effort to get kids into the work force. Why should they waste time after school by playing soccer and school team sports such as football and basketball.

Since Florida is doing their best to deport migrant workers, they need bodies to pick oranges, grapefruit and harvest other crops. Of course, for now, they don't want children working on roofs, but I bet that will change forthwith. Got to give DeSantis and the state legislature tons of credit for hitting on this idea. Why waste a resource you already have?; I bet parents will love the idea!

Bigly!!!

Pay fruit pickers a living wage and Americans will do the work.

Why are illegals the only people that Democrats and "not Democrats" believe should not earn a living wage?

Bingo. Or use automation and eliminate those jobs.

You have never worked agri shows that comment. Stoop labor has been mechanized as far as possible.

I think kids graduating high school should spend a year in the military.

This gives them learning capabilities to see whats out in the world.
It gives them some formal structuring of being an adult.
It gives them a little money in the bank for when they get out, if thats what they choose.
It gives them something to do and think on whats next in their lives.

Then, they can have a good base for deciding on what they want to do next in their lives.

Kids working while in school is fine, as long as it's ok by their parents and it's safe for them to be in that type of work.
Mowing lawns, bagging groceries, stock clerks, dog sitters...........jobs with some responsibility, but nothing involving the handling of money, large machinery, or being in dangerous work conditions.

Giving sexually confused teenagers cross-sex hormones and cutting off primary and secondary sex organs does not harm them. In fact it SAVES LIVES!

But earning money working at night outside during the summer?

THE HORROR!

That's Democrat and "not Democrat" logic for you.

Laws about child labor and transexual reassignment are not the same or similar and are fact nothing in common. THE HORROR!

Laws about child labor and laws regulating mutilating kids are not both meant to protect children?

Don't be smarmy. They should not be confused.

Children should not be working before a certain age and between certain hours.

Agribusiness is odark30 to odark30, particularly with livestock.

Depends on the time of year.

Not at all. With crops, yes, to varying extent.

Because they're children, right?

So why are they expected to be able to make decisions about abortions and sexual mutilation surgery and chemical sterilization before their 18th birthday?

Like I said, if an enterprising 16-year-old wants to work and keeps up with his studies, let him. Also like I said, no one is going to force teenagers to get a job. If their families are in poverty, they can work a job to not only help the family but escape the situation. From where do you get the insane idea that allowing teenagers to work is forced child labor?

It's insane to think that.

How do the kids commute to work?

They aren't.

It's not confusing to anyone but you.

Children should not be working before a certain age and between certain hours.

What specifically are the ages and hours?

Where do you get those specific figures?

The leges determine that.

It is so very good that you post your crazies here so you can be laughed at regularly.

So you don't know the ages and hours, you're just spouting nonsense again.

The "leges" can change the hours if they determine it best policy.

So Flops reveals his ignorance.

If the kid is old enough to steal or vandalize they are old enough to work.
