This is unthinkable. Not only do Americans have to contend with starving the kids and denying healthcare but just work them to death.
This is a bridge too far. These are kids. Kids need to have some time to be kids. It is not just Florida. Arkansas and other states are tyring to implement the same thing.
Florida lawmakers are considering major changes to state child labor laws that would loosen restrictions on when and how long teens can work, as the state braces for a shortage of migrant workers under GOP-led immigration crackdowns.
A state Senate panel narrowly advanced a proposal Tuesday to eliminate regulations that bar 16- and 17-year-olds from working jobs before 6:30 a.m. or after 11 p.m. on school days, working more than eight hours on school days and working more than 30 hours a week while in school. The proposal also would end a requirement that teens receive at least 30-minute meal breaks when they work eight-hour shifts.
Additionally, it would eliminate some restrictions on employing 14- and 15-year-olds who are home-schooled or enrolled in virtual schools.
If people can’t see we are heading toward slavery for all….then you are not paying attention.
This crap and republican shit must stop !!!!!!!
