So this is the solution to the problem created by stifling immigration, the lifeblood of the U.S.A. since the beginning.

@shuttersparks "Labour shortages are driving up wages"

Isn't that exactly that free market thing that they love so much? Oh.. right, that's only when it benefits the wealthy. When it benefits workers the government needs to step in.

Ah yes, now I understand 🤦‍♂️

@shuttersparks Working as a kid was probably the best teaching expiernce I ever had... while I agree we need good immigration and immigrants are vital to a work force, im not against child labor so long as it is done responsibly.

@shuttersparks They've never been about the children - they are only about low-wage work and dismantling education to stay in power. They are threatened by GenZ so they want to shore up future votes by undereducating Gen Alpha and making them work in factories. Manual hard laborers are also easier to control with Fox news messaging.
