do republicans ever ask why solid red states like Louisiana rank so highly in things like child poverty or are they such hardened ideologues that they're just going to do what clearly isn't working? or do they think that keeping minimum wage to $2/hour is somehow going to help people?
The ones in charge: know that poor children are more likely to accept work out of desperation and have never met a way to exploit the proletariat they didn't like
The everyday voters: just hate children
Also, poor kids are more willing to join the military because they sell it as a way to escape the drudgery
The thing is that if you fuck the kids over too much, theyre too stupid and unhealthy to join. Its just another idiotic american capitalist contradiction
Yep, but after a certain point, they just want bodies
Once had a recruiter literally tell me that they basically just want people who can hold a rifle and not shoot the other troops
Military recruiters are fucking idiots and honestly not the arbiter of who get in or not, all they do is try to get people interested and to processing to see if they can actually join or not
Salespeople. Always the dumbest people on earth. They just literally read from a memorized script and smile a lot
