Well yeah, that too, but what does Trump and the Russian Traitor caucus trying to pull us out of NATO have to do with it? This is more about regressing from "developed" to "developing."
"First world" doesn't refer to the division between western bloc and eastern bloc anymore. The Three Worlds Model isn't used for modern international relations. Now the term "first world" refers to highly developed industrialized countries, i.e. basically a capitalist country with a stable economy and a high standard of living. Many US allies (including some NATO members) aren't first world, although developed countries tend to be NATO-aligned (except Hong Kong/Macau, if you count those, and Singapore). "Third world" also certainly doesn't refer to unaligned countries anymore.
It takes almost no time to say everything is wrong with these people, and the American business model, health care model, pay model, uhhh,, the American everything model is not only wrong, but deliberately cruel and evil, besides.
"We can't slave away other races, neither other genders, without maybe getting into trouble, who are the next most vulnerable target that nobody gives a shit about guys?"
Holy shit man. These dudes are just evil and lazy as shit. Instead of trying they just want to do things the easy way, by fucking up someone else, every time since forever. Pathetic accommodated slavers. Probably have small dicks as well.
So anyway, I just want to check and see if anyone else noticed what's going on here: to the extent that the comments are about specific policy (as opposed to generalized outrage at how cartoonishly evil the Republicans are), they're about the "cutting lunch breaks for child workers" part.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that part was added mostly as a distraction to make it easier to push the unemployment benefit and workers comp cuts through (e.g. by offering to ditch the lunch breaks part while keeping the other stuff and pretending it's some kind of fair compromise, when what really should've happened is binning all of it).
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.
It's just some greedy asshole who wants those 14 year olds to work a little harder and a little cheaper. Breaks cost money.
That'd at least be something. But republicans in my state actually are cartoonishly evil and that part is staying in so one senator can justify abusing some kids.
I've known about the Orphan Crushing Machine for a while, but it takes news stories like this to make one take a step back and realize that there are people actively maintaining and upgrading the Orphan Crushing Machine. jfc. Who wakes up and says, "crushed orphans are vital to my business plans," with no sense of irony?
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.
“The sheep want to jump in my mouth” Mr. Wolf claimed.
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Ohhhh. Just harming young adults. Totally Clean conscience there
I honestly thought it was an onion article when I read the part from the state representative saying children tell him they'd rather work instead of have a lunch...
