The New York TimesUmmm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

So there I was last Christmas Eve, all comfy with hot tea, a little bourbon, a few Christmas cookies and watching the 1951 film version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge and ended up tapping toes to a tune featured in said flick.

Luigi Mangione is a way the ghost of Christmas future. I don't mean that assassinations will become the norm. I mean that a lot of rich people have had a preview of how they are viewed by the public.
Will they be clear-eyed enough to see what the Ebenezer saw? After hearing the way people talked about a then unnamed dead rich guy:
> “Spirit!” said Scrooge, shuddering from head to foot. “I see, I see. The case of this unhappy man might be my own. My life tends that way, now.”

A must listen too! A production of the famous Christmas Carol with an accessibility twist. All parts are being played by people in the blind community, and its audio described. It was created by Kayaker and produced by Garth from the Audio Pizza Podcast. A popular Double Tapper plays Ebenezer Scrooge. Great job! Give it a listen...

Reading and listening to coverage about the murder of #BrianThompson, I don't get a lot of content about the victim, but a lot about why nobody is surprised he was killed.
I'm reminded of the "Thank you very much" scene from 1970s movie #Scrooge
