Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.

I think you want “defunding”. (Probably spell check broke it.)

Reason #8,994 why I left FL. My tax dollars no longer contribute to this shit.

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.

Trabulsy noted that lawmakers passed the existing restriction in 1990 to reduce insurance rates.
“Lo and behold, insurance rates did not come down,” she said. “It’s about time that we change this law and put the courts back in the hands of Floridians.”
That’s something, anyway. I hope we stop falling for “we will lower your rates”, because we know they won’t.

Greedy fucks are never going to lower a price. They must extract all available profit or they have failed.

So thier reason for actually doing it per the article was to attract more MD to the state to cover the shortages, I don’t think that was the main problem for the shortages

Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants

That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…

Well, it’s Florida. These kids will be washing dishes and cleaning rooms at resorts until the oranges are ready to pick. Try to go underground there you’ll just hit the ocean.

Read the fine print tho: “Due to lack of migrant workers.” What’s that again? Lack of migrants you say? Why, whatever could be causing that?

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 missed by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they’re asking for.

They’re kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.

How else are they going to teach those leeches how to fend for themselves?
I hope the sarcasm is obvious there.

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

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?”

I keep saying this is all a front to reduce age of consent. Once you establish teens are as capable as adult it goes down hill. Plus they cant vote.

They are probably already jacking off to such ideas in the GOP.
