    Large population of boomers with a lifetime of lead poisoning, and they vote.

    I'm not giving them lead as a pass. There's a huge swath of Boomers who are just shitass, toxic, hateful people. They never grew out of their angsty, entitled bitter selves, and most are broadly uneducated, and resentful despite failing upwards for 30-40 years as a confluence of luck.

      Governor Ron DeSantis said during a panel discussion in March: "Why do we say we need to import foreigners, even import them illegally, when, you know, teenagers used to work at these resorts, college students should be able to do this stuff? … What's wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that's how it used to be when I was growing up."

      And a lot of things were different for your great-great-grandparents, and yet here you are not living as they did, you cheesedick dumbfuck.

        Corrupt government. Look at the number of Senate votes against their district:

          Your kids are starving. Carl's Jr. believes no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr. Carl's Jr... "Fuck You, I'm Eating."

            Republican state Senator Jay Collins, the bill's sponsor, said the measure was about parental rights: "We should let them say what's best for their kids at 16- to 17-year-olds, that's what we're saying by this."

            Anyone who puts forth a measure aimed at "parental rights", it's always something that's aimed at parents' right to treat their children like property

            It would also have scrapped required 30-minute meal breaks

            It's a parent's right to make sure their child works an 8 hour shift with no breaks! Breaks are socialism!

                "You should be able to give your child a job at a slave wage in awful conditions. That's a parental decision.

                "What if I want to give my child the opportunity to explore their gender identity? Thats a parental decision too."

                    Currently every politician making a name for themselves will frame anything they can in any way they can. Words have little meaning lately so you just say whatever the fuck you want and worry about the angle later.

                      Like how is the female property to keep the children in line if the children aren't also property?

                          I never said it was a pass. But it is something you must take into account.

                          We added fucking lead to everything back then. Even the fucking water lines and gasoline pumping it into every breath they took whether they wanted to or not. An entire generation fucked by lead without knowing it at the time.

                          Lead exposure has been shown to things like increased aggression. Which propaganda then takes to the next level by stoking artificial fear.

                            The bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours.

                            This is a horrifying concept and a great way to keep kids uneducated so they keep voting for lying repubs when they get older.

                            Governor Ron DeSantis said during a panel discussion in March: "Why do we say we need to import foreigners, even import them illegally, when, you know, teenagers used to work at these resorts, college students should be able to do this stuff? … What's wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that's how it used to be when I was growing up."

                            They also used to work in factories where they'd get maimed and other high-risk environments. Shall we bring that back too, Governor Dipshit Fascist? Seriously, get fucked.

                                DeSantis just outlawed fluoride in water and my city just… went along with it. It’s the dumbest state and I can’t wait to leave.

                                  The way you phrase and articulate your statements reads like you are suggesting that lead is the culprit of Boomer behavior, and not deep character flaws and a broad sense of entitlement and narcissistic indulgences. Hence my rebuttal.

                                    Oh no there's a lot of bullshit with the boomers. Lead is just one of many things. It's not all just because they're assholes, there are some legitimate contributors that result in the extreme bullshit pie.

                                      When I was a kid, my mom was outraged that somebody made the statement, "children aren't their parent's property."
                                      So, yeah

                                        I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.

                                        The fact that "how it used to be" in your childhood produced a scumbag like you is a compelling argument to not let people's childhoods be like that anymore.
