* New Republican sponsored bill in Florida will allow school kids as young as 14 to work fulltime and overnight shifts - on school nights - with no breaks.

* Making this worse: another Republican sponsored bill aims to label these teenagers as "interns" or "apprentices" who will make less than minimum wage.


The Oligarchy is dead set on growing America's Idiocracy. Keep 'em stupid and dumb them down. Bury their childhoods deep in the ground.

From the Guardian article:

“To recap, they made the state hostile to immigrants. They deported a bunch of people, or scared people into not coming, or moving out of the state. They exacerbated worker shortages, so now they’re trying to gut child labor protection standards, while at the same time passing a law that would allow them to classify these children and other workers as interns,” he said.
