Iowa governor to sign bill letting kids work more, do previously banned jobs

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on Thursday said she will sign a bill to roll back labor protections for children, allowing them to work longer hours and take jobs that had been prohibited. The measure would permit children as young as 14 to work in roofing, construction and demolition, provided they are...

Sure. It is great for kiddos to hit the workplace sooner. That way they can start purchasing their own freaking bootstraps at a much younger age. Quit being such financial burdens to their parents. That and Mom and Pop's and Corporate America get to exploit weak minds and strong backs for lots less money.

What is not to like?

No same, reasonable country would allow this.

I voted that it is a great plan!

No sane, reasonable country would allow this.

Have you looked around America lately?

Have you looked around America lately?

Honestly, what is the right trying to do?
I remember in my awkward, uncoordinated teens my mother calling me a 'bull in a China shop' and that's what they're starting to look like, just causing damage and destruction every direction they turn.

Have you looked around America lately?

I have.
I see a newly elected Republican Congress who, instead of addressing homelessness, inflation and healthcare have decided to wage a culture war by making their first order of business attacking trans folk and Hunter Biden's laptop.
The rights moronic culture wars aren't addressing the real problems here.

Wait til they learn the GOP wants them working until they're 70.

Get under that loom, kid. Those bobbins ain't gonna change themselves.

And that blind pony ain't gonna harness itself to that coal trolley.

Is their job going to be making spam threads? Or something less noxious?

What?
Pay attention.
It's not a good thing.

Destroy America.
The thing is, I come more into belief every day, that it is their goal, but that they see their efforts as some Noble Patriotic Cause, because they see the America of today not being the REAL AMERICA, either of their youth, or what they felt was their parents REAL AMERICA.
So its destruction is necessary, and just, in order to return to their ideal of the REAL AMERICA.

I remember in my awkward, uncoordinated teens my mother calling me a 'bull in a China shop' and that's what they're starting to look like, just causing damage and destruction every direction they turn.

Bingo.
That was a fortuitous analogy.
That is one of the things, so many on the Right see America of today as bought and paid for via having sold out to China, ergo, China's Shop!
They are going for the most chaos and destruction they can.

You must be a democrat and like child labor like they use in Cuba south American Africa and china

Most of this sounds absolutely terrible. I'm fine with teenagers having jobs, but those jobs should always come second to school, meaning there should be severe limitations to the hours they can work. And they certainly shouldn't be working in any dangerous occupations like construction. As for serving alcohol, it's crazy to allow them to do that before they're old enough to buy a drink themselves. Did no one consider that minors are going to be sneaking drinks for themselves and their friends?

 

[Geoist]

It's a great idea! (If you're a 19th century robber baron).

The governor of Iowa is a Republican. Both state houses are controlled by Republicans...
