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.

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Allow, as in let them work like they used to, with little to no regulation. It was never about kids wanting to work.

We LOVE Fucking Children! Whether with GROWN MAN PENIS or DEFUNDING EDUCATION or Legalizing CHILD LABOR us Republicans LOVE Fucking Children!

-LITERALLY, NO JOKE, EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN!

[-] BossDj@piefed.social 3 points 4 months ago

"If they're old enough for sex, they're old enough for work." Republican logic.

Also reminder that 100% of all Republican logic begins with a fallacy

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Save the children [for us].

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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?

[-] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I heard about some Epstein list or something.

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Funnily, I could swear when I was a kid I’ve seen it called the “Epstain List”

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah and they aren’t paying well, so.. beat them?

[-] sbbq@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

His kids and grandkids first. In fact, if there aren't enough necessary workers, maybe "news" hosts should be forced into labour.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Funny how allowing the owner class to exploit children is phrased to imply it's giving children a choice. 🤮

[-] DNS@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It isn't going to be their children doing it either, it will be ours.

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

i propose fox news hosts for hard labor

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I really wish these assholes would think of the children less.

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

When that doesn'twork out are they going to move to slavery?

[-] DaveRussell@stranger.social 0 points 4 months ago

@Redditsux At what point do liberals realize Fox News is how conservative psychopaths float ideas? This one is beyond the pale. If conservatives had brains, they would realize the wealthy are trying to recreate slavery through inadequate education, low wages, and limited opportunities to move to better places to work. On top of that, they seem really fond of raping our kids, if the defense of Trump is any indication. Conservatives are the main problem.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

The problem is, we all know what the most effective solution to ever-growing “conservative” (reactionary) terror is, but nobody wants to say it (i.e., it’s how our forebears handled the Nazis and the Confederates).

Nobody wants to go there, though, because that’s a bell that cannot be unrung. And, let’s face it, it’s horrible. So neolibs, actual conservatives, and left-of-center moderates are quietly clinging to the faint hope that the rubes at large will get gobsmacked by good sense and then vote themselves out of this mess soon. I want that, too, but I’m not so optimistic.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] idebugonprod@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

Asked Gemini what song you're referring to because I had no clue, and it came back with "O Fortuna"

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 4 months ago

maybe its more like the day after day in the labor camp type of thing. it has really sad and depressing cadence and not sure what instrument is making it but there is generaly a fatalistic drum hit at the end of each thing.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

lol this is the worst description of a song in text form.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

I cannot deny that.
