The cruelty is the point. At this point, voting republican in the US is equal to voting for German Nazis in 1933, when they were still working towards a totalitarian terror state.

When I was a kid I worked at a full service gas station. We didn’t get lunch breaks, or any sort of breaks, and I didn’t know that’s how things were supposed to work until I became an adult and started to work construction.
This law absolutely will be used to take advantage of kids, because companies do not give one single fuck about children and kids don’t know any better.
Yikes, add a non compete to this and it's basically slavery conditions
without workers the smoothies dont get made.
What a shithole state. Why is every southern state trying to outdo each other on their assholery.
We really fucked up on Reconstruction, and now the bill is coming due.
It’s a combination of that and fundamentalist evangelical Christianity
They want their slaves back. Don't dare dream otherwise. They want slaves.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks. He questioned why Louisiana has the requirement while other states where he owns Smoothie King locations, such as Mississippi, don't have them, and criticized people who have questioned the bill's purpose.
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
O_O
Edit: you heard it here first, one day there will be a news article about this guy flirting with underage workers (possibly something darker)
Give me a break," he said.
Oh, so the dude thinks he deserves a break does he? That's rich.
Legs break.
So ... they're here to harm young adults? How is that better?
I love how when they don't want lunch breaks they're practically adults so they shouldn't need them. But when they want life changing (life saving) medical care, suddenly they're kids that need protecting.
