That's simply not true. Plenty of non-wealthy, non-privileged kids have part-time jobs. They just don't have time left over for partying and/or crime.


Please quit conflating your high school junior 10 hours a week waitressing and multiple overnight work shifts for 14 year olds.

So plenty of high school freshman work overnight on school nights? Because that’s the proposal. And it’s different from me working the cash register at the card store no more than 10 hours a week in high school.


I previously said not overnight without a break, but I don't mean 10 hours a week. More like 20 to 25.

So no one here ever worked parttime as a teen in a daycare, in a tobacco warehouse, for a lawncare business, as a dishwasher in a restaurant, etc ? Many teens do it. They're just not from wealthy families.

I've seen it in Utah, Colorado, Pennsylvania, West VA, Virginia and Maryland while skiing. There is obviously a pipeline for these people. I'm sure there are other pockets of employment where foreign workers dominate. And these are not back breaking jobs. Surely American kids can hand out ski boots.

We aren’t taking about working at ski resorts. These are jobs undocumented workers usually do. So use your imagination. And if it’s not a big deal, when are your kids signing up?


The OP specifically references resorts. The article also reference all immigrants, legal and not.

So you are saying DeSantis did not propose this law? They are lying about allowing 14 year olds to work overnight shifts and no having to give meal breaks to 16 year olds?

The only ones with that work ethic is a refugee or immigrant.


Or who knows their family will go hungry unless they work hard. Because food bank deliveries have stopped, SNAP and WIC are gone, school lunch supports are gone and there is no social safety net. Hunger is a powerful motivator. There is a MAGA plan here. Deport immigrants. Take away the minimal social safety net we have. Get American kids hungry and desperate. Put them to work under conditions that make it impossible to get an education. Keep them poor forever. Voila— your deported low wage immigrant workers have been replaced with Americans.

Is this really Great Again?


For Trump and the billionaire class, absolutely. An extra 247 people became billionaires last year, which Forbes just announced. They’re richer too. They amassed more than $2 Trillion last year alone. But, sure put kids in the fields.

I.don't.care. Democrats tried saving these people from themselves but they call us elitists, so now they can fend for themselves.
