volvoxvsmarla , to Work Reform in Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits

My naive European ass thought it talked about people working with children... and I got ultra mad about that. How do they dare to make a kindergarten teacher go without a break ? That's insane!

Then... Jfc. I'm not sure I should have read the comments to find out.

The guy who pushed this bill owns a bunch of Smoothie Kings and hires child workers.

EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS: Repeals the provision of law relative to recreation or meal periods for minors

I would love to hear someone try to argue why this is a good thing. I expected some language to try to make it sound beneficial, but nope.

Conservatives have abandoned all pretext. Trump showed them they don't need to hide. They don't need to pretend they care about people. They don't need to act like they aren't corrupt. They can simply do what is in their own best interest, because conservatives will support them.

Comical levels of villainy. That's how I choose to read this bullshit in an effort to preserve my fucking sanity.

Drag queens read stories: “Think of the children!!”

Heinous labour abuses: “It’ll build character!”
