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!!

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.

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.

Read the fine print tho: "Due to lack of migrant workers." What's that again? Lack of migrants you say? Whatever could be causing that?

Not just children. Anyone who isnโ€™t rich, white, cis, straight, and Christian. If youโ€™re not rich, then you must be a piece of shit, and you deserve nothing, not even the most basic human dignity.

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

"Wage slaves" is the only answer I've found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they're asking for.

How else are they going to teach those leeches how to fend for themselves?

I hope the sarcasm is obvious there.

Some people think that education might be important for the jobs of the future. Qualifying for university is an option on such a future.

Other people think fuck the future, we need more people taking a career path that starts as a dishwasher right now.

Very few of these other people will question "what was wrong with the dishwasher we had?"
