Florida's plan to replace migrant workers with children falls apart
-
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.
It’s just embarrassing for people that this works on. So stupid.

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.
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.

Do they even purify the drinking water in Florida? .... or are people there just this stupid?
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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

lol do American politicians seriously try to frame child labor laws as taking away parents rights?
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.

what's the news here? They are basically using the same arguments the US used to not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Minors being the parents property is still an almost uncontroversial position in the US even if people don't phrase it like that.

"I was beaten as a child and I ended up fine" says man who beats children.

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
statesparents rights!Why is it always about slavery?

Wait what? you actually want fluoride in your drinkwater???

I'm not the one you asked, but adding fluoride to tap water was a revolution in dental health, so yeah.
Just like most things, concentration matters. A little fluoride is very good for you. A lot of fluoride is bad for you. They put a "very good for you" amount in the water, and if you don't get it from the water you should take supplements.
You may have seen conspiracy theories about fluoride addition which have existed since the 70s, but those have about as much credibility as chemtrails.

Good thing the north left a loophole in the constitution after the civil war just for a situation like this.

See also: the troubled teen industry. Ir parenting is too much work, you can send your kid to torture school.

You should pay more attention because we've already been doing that this whole time.

Don't know about any conspiracy theories, but my take is tapwater should be as clean as possible without any additives. Fluoride is in fish, fruits, toothpaste, make sure you eat healthy enough so you don't need your water source to be "contaminated".
But I guess in the US and the food quality its better than nothing.

Adding fluoride to water is not US specific.
