Conservative agenda:

Put young males to work until they're old enough to enlist.

Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.

Don't think they aren't eyeing up little 13 year olds.

Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)

Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.

"Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married."

Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…

What a shithole America is becoming

America requires immigrants to function and has for almost 250 years.

Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.

The US is regressing more and more. I refuse to call it a first world country at this point.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"First world" etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.

What you mean is "developed country" and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You'd have people coming from "developing countries" to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.

Oh. Ok, Florida, see you guys are really taking the dystopia thing pretty damn seriously

They watched cyberpunk: edgerunners and got really inspired by the wrong things.

So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 68 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So they gonna get the right to vote? Cause if they are going to be treated as adult they should get vote.

Let's also decrease liquor and smokes to 8 while we are at it.

Also remove child support cause they are grown up to get their own jobs and health insurance.

/s

f these people.

I'm not against letting teenagers work as long as there are protections. Removing guaranteed meals and overnight work? Nah.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 45 points 3 days ago (4 children)

If they’re removing these protections for teens what are they doing to the rights of adult employees?

Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants

[–] Followupquestion@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

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…

[–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Here I was thinking this was satire. Then I actually searched it up (source: CNN) and wtf?!
