Yeah, let's definitely go back to this.
Or this. All those unaborted abandoned babies can be shoved down the chimneys.
The children yearn for the mines!
Funny how allowing the owner class to exploit children is phrased to imply it's giving children a choice. 🤮
This is Republicans soft launching "children yearn for the mines" rhetoric. USA is effectively regressing and removing what originally made this country "great." I fear for my children as they grow older. I can only do so much as a parent to steer them onto a path of least hardship, but Republicans are increasingly making that difficult.
I don't think we started out great, honestly. Our history is pretty fucking dark. I think we could have been great, and we might have even been getting close. But I absolutely agree that the progress we have made is regressing in front of our eyes. Worse, anybody who doesn't celebrate this senseless destruction is also being demonized.
It isn't going to be their children doing it either, it will be ours.

So instead of having the rich and powerful abuse and assault immigrants they should abuse and assault children? Maybe on an island? Is there a list?
I heard about some Epstein list or something.
Funnily, I could swear when I was a kid I’ve seen it called the “Epstain List”
What the fuck does he mean by "allow". You think the kids want to work? Dear God, the kids want to be hanging out. Maybe playing some video games or going to the pool or shit like that.
At least be honest. You want to jack up rent so high that their parents can't afford to pay it so the parents make the kids chip in. That's what you want, because you're a sick motherfucker.
Allow, as in let them work like they used to, with little to no regulation. It was never about kids wanting to work.

Just look at those plucky young entrepreneurs living their best life:
I feel like anyone suggesting this has never interacted with a child.
Perhaps surprisingly, most kids will happily pick fruit for say, 15 minutes.
If you want them to do it for 40 hours a week that's going to require some extreme motivation.
Yeah and they aren’t paying well, so.. beat them?

There's a side effect to this which I don't think anyone is picking up: an inherent devaluing of the work that immigrants do here. They pivoted from "immigrants are criminals and rapists" to "OK, maybe some aren't, but the ones who aren't are doing work so simple your kids could do it".
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?
if there was a god, and god wasn't a sick twisted evil fuck like in the bible, all these fuckers would die from horrendously painful burn damage after surviving a lightning strike
The idea of having to worry about my kids work schedule on top of school and my own shit to do in return for starvation wages? Nah, we're good.
Sounds great, I can’t wait to see 10 year olds roofing my house in July.
Send them to live in a shack on a farm instead of going to school.
"Let children do it, but not my children."
The worst fucking timeline.
I guess the baby-talk "maga" means - bring back child labor. That was the time period when America was greatest?
His pasty white ass should be in the fields first.
His kids and grandkids first. In fact, if there aren't enough necessary workers, maybe "news" hosts should be forced into labour.
When that doesn'twork out are they going to move to slavery?
Subsidized corpo farms: 👍👍 Subsidized small farms: 👎👎 Exploitation of the masses, including the children: 👍👍👍🥰
magas: Mass Deportation Now!
maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won't have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!
maga 2: Hmm let's see, what other group's labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?
maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.
maga 2: I know! Children!
We can replace the national anthem with that music they use in movies when people are rowing or such. you know. da na na naaa. da na na naa naaa.
Asked Gemini what song you're referring to because I had no clue, and it came back with "O Fortuna"

they’re ALWAYS thinking about the children!!!
Send Fox employees.
Children are the future, but the now belongs to me.
Its 2025- children are for farm work and sex.
Now that is a man who really enjoys sniffing his own farts
