Pro life until they can be pro teens dying for cooperate profit.
These’ll be those post-birth abortions they’re on about yes?
This is what sickens me about America.
This country knows full well, what the right solutions are. We prop them on it's table every damn day. What does America do? Always going the opposite direction.
We worried about AI taking over jobs. It's happened and continues to happen, so we propped up UBI. America? "Naw, nah...no, you don't need that! Here, little Jack over there? Your boy right? Why, he's got too much time on his hands and plays too much video games. Now he needs to have a job. You'll let him get a job, won't you? If we lighten child labor laws some."
Fucking sickening, this country.
Who in their right fucking mind thinks letting teenagers work at landfills, meat processing plants, and logging companies is a good idea?! I think the record clearly shows that teenagers don’t always make the best damn decisions. Jesus wept this shit is insanity.

Well when COVID killed off a bunch of your workforce because you pretended it didn't exist and you don't know how many because you refused to keep accurate counts, and a bunch more retired because they figured they were close enough and COVID gave them an excuse, and all the undocumented immigrants are leaving because you're passing laws targeting them and to them it's not worth the pittance you've been gleefully paying them under the table- well, you've got to get more slaves from somewhere, right?
Yo, America. What the fuck are you guys doing over there?
Unlearning all of the lessons from the last century.
Red states have been using chopping education as a budget fixer for decades. These people are never taught, period.
They now have people stupid enough to want a dictatorship AND child slavery back on the menu.
I don't even think they're doing it to fix the budget, that's just the only palatable way they could think to present cutting education to the masses. The real reason is your second paragraph
