Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
European here: WTF?
Please send help
No. You elected this shit on your own. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.
That’s debatable considering rump has twice now stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
That said, enjoy your popcorn while you can. This train is coming off the rails and may very well effect you personally in time.
Got clips? I’m assuming one is the bit about Elon being “good” with vote counting computers and that’s how they won Pennsylvania in a landslide, but I’m not familiar with the other time he he stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
WE didn’t elect them.
The south elected them, out of the same vile hate they’ve nurtured for 160 years.
When I was young they kept to their shit holes, but they’ve since leaked out and spread everywhere, and now the country is in ruins.
Of course you did!
Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.
But will the reining in end the reign?
Did I do the wrong one? I still can’t tell, lol. Sorry grammar gurus, I’m not one of you.
Hi there! You did do the wrong one ;) reins refers to the item that is used to guide horses and the like, and so “reining something/someone in” is the correct term. Reign means to rule over.
It might help you remember which is which if you think of Santa’s REINdeer (deer wearing reins)! Hope that helps :)
Another way to remember it is that the ‘g’ in “reign” stands for GNU.
…
Some people might think that’s a stupid memory trick, but I think it rules.
I appreciate the help. I wonder if they’ll ever have grammar bots on lemmy.
No problem!
My guess is it’s only a matter of time
Hello, I see you haven’t met government bailouts to big corporations 👋 Oh and it appears brand endorsements on White House lawn has just woken up from her nap.
It might rein him in on tariffs and attempted land theft but it is unlikely to continue past that. Though I do believe that the boycott of American made may be longer lasting than those threats and as an American I actually appreciate those boycotts. Those in power need to understand what isolationism actually means.
Seconded. Do not buy our products. Build your militaries, sad to say. Save your holidays for better nations.
Then you should remember the rise of fascism pretty clearly. That is “what the fuck”
Just a quick question: do people above the age of 17 not get guaranteed meal breaks?
No. Or any other kind of break. Also benefits are determined by part time vs full time, which itself is generally determined be working either less than 40 hours a week, or 40+. In other words part time is generally 39.99999 hours a week.
You wouldn’t believe labour rights here in Germany. And yet, the work gets done.
Yeah, but your social safety nets are strong, and rich people and companies are highly taxed in order to fund those social safety nets. That makes any random worker far more motivated to go and do their job than if they were getting absolutely ass-fucked in 1 trillion different ways every hour of every day, like they are in the United States — purely in the name of prophet –, all while the propaganda tries to convince them and everyone else that’s because they are “weak“.
I suddenly have no difficulty understanding why the red October revolutionist didn’t try to “rehabilitate” the imperials, and just murdered the fucking a lot of them.
Nope, rich people and companies do not pay German social security. It’s all funded by compulsory insurance for everyone except the rich.
I worked for a German company briefly. The pay was great and they literally wouldn’t let me do overtime. Best job I’ve ever had.
Come back! Germany will need loads of qualified workers in the coming years. There are 500 billion to be spent on infrastructure and the labor market is already quite tight. We will need people everywhere and in many places English-speaking colleagues are not a problem.
If y’all need more software/computer engineers with Quality German Humor, and whatever my ex qualifies as, (she don’t got no skills or education IDK if that’s a problem) I’ll gladly come on over.
(We’re a package deal because of my kid 😔)
I’ve got a Mexican coworker. She was terrified when she returned after her first sickday, fearing a profound scoulding by our consultant. She did get one - when she turned up sick a couple of weeks later :)
Oh i would believe them. I’m a federal employee (for now), we’re considered to have “great benefits” that are actually less than the bare minimum in many first world countries; we also get less pay (at least in IT) compared to private sector to “justify” these benefits. The benefits they are constantly chipping away it while also taking more out of our paychecks each year with raises below actual cost of living and inflation.
In Canada the federal government ends up having to hire contractors for anything IT related because the pay is crap when on the inside, in the end it costs more than just increasing IT’s pay to be somewhat competitive
As a Californian, I also find this shocking. What the fuck, Florida?
No. Or any other kind of break.
I thought there was a federal requirement for shifts over a certain length to get a break of a certain minimum length? It’s not much, it’s not remotely good, but I’m pretty sure it exists.
To add to the previous comment, no.
Any benefits above slavery have been hard-fought, and hard-won for nearly a century. Hell, even the concept of a “weekend“ didn’t exist until union workers protested to the point where they demanded two days off every week.
Never forget: anything you have, anything you enjoy, anything that makes your life better… Thousands and, possibly, hundreds of thousands of people had to fight (and die) for decades before they even got a fraction of what we have now. And it’s always the fascist that wanna take it away.
And when they say “die” they mean in pitched gunfights, dark alleys, and other actual battles against criminals hired to break them. Not figuratively on a picket line.
Who are “they”?
Labor and civil rights historians. I just wanted to make your point very clear.
Lmao. Nope. And anything you are supposed to get is covered under the At Will employment laws. Which is a fancy way of saying your boss can walk in and say you’re fired at any time, give no reason, and tell the state it was for cause so they shouldn’t pay out your Unemployment Insurance.
Of course the few places that are unionized do get breaks and protection but that’s because they’re unionized. That’s like 1% of places though.
California does. Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours, and guaranteed 30 min unpaid lunch if you work over 6 hours, mandatory overtime after 10 hours, and a second 30 min meal break if working over 12 hours. Although, many bosses love to pretend those 10 minute breaks don’t exist (especially in construction).
Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours
PAID 10 minute breaks, as in you don’t have to clock out. Also gonna add that you get extra breaks if working outdoors during extreme heat, 95+ iirc.
You’re supposed to get those extra heat breaks, but they don’t always happen, again depends on the boss.
Looking at the other comments I guess it depends on the state. I’m in my 30s and have had a few friends over the years tell me that they sued, and won, their employers for missing breaks. Needless to say all of my managers/bosses have gone out of their way to make sure I get my breaks to avoid that happening. I have even heard of situations where people just randomly get a check in the mail because somebody else sued the company and after an audit it was discovered that the company was not allowing for proper breaks. This forced all past employees to get compensated for it. California in case you’re wondering.
No, not in Florida. Other states do however.
This is what happens when your government loves business more than people. Do not feed the corporations. They will do this to you too.
The south came back in overtime to win the civil war.
The country is gone, save yourselves.
General Sherman’s biggest mistake was stopping the push before reaching the ocean.
Ftfy:
WTFL
Conservative agenda:
Put young males to work until they’re old enough to enlist.
Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.
Don’t think they aren’t eyeing up little 13 year olds.
Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)
Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.
“Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They’re still married.”
Don’t think they aren’t eyeing up little 13 year olds.
Judging from the Trump Supporting Pastor just arrested, Matt Gatez and the rest, I assume it’s not just eyeing the 13 year olds for work.
If they’re following GOP Rep Dennis Hastert’s plan, it’s not just the girls they’re attempting to get pregnant
Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…
That would be a great point if not for the “rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!”
Stupid lib!
What?
I think what they were getting at was that you made a good point, but unfortunately those in power use devicive rhetoric in order to keep us mad at each other instead of mad at them.
Ohhh that’s a bingo!
Legoland used to have a sign “Turning minors into miners” at the toy mine exhibit.
Fun fact, if you have a photo it might be the only one out there
It would have been near this display iirc.
Nothing says “freedom” like 1920s labor laws.
Cool so USA is importing everything
Iit had exported to third world countries.- Authoritarian dictatorial leadership ✔️
- Child exploiting sweatshop ✔️
What’s next USA?
Edit: Came here to add
- Detention without due process ✔️
Fascism is when Imperialism returns to the Core.
How have I not heard this before!
Police stealing money from citizens. Civil forfeiture.
USA is importing everything I had exported to third world countries
Jinkies, it was old man @reddit_sux spreading human suffering to the third world the whole time!
Damn Samsung autocorrect.
Transferring American achievement on to me.
Florida’s new State motto is “The Most Cruelty Under the Sun”
Serious question: Is this satire?
No, Ms Huckabee sanders already did this in '23 in ar- Kansas
1823 or 1923?
Yes.
Oh much more recent. So much progress has been made! In the latter of the years you mentioned, woman would have only been able to vote for 3 years so there is no way a woman would have been in power to checks notes roll back protection on working conditions for minors.
I hate this timeline.
These will be a majority of white kids, right? Riiiight?
Ducking dystopia.
Oddly, it very well may be, considering that any “not white “people who show up to get job jobs will be deported just because they’re not white.
Or have a seemingly non-white last name.
And then they’ll adjust their definition of white.
True… Although this is Florida… I doubt they can deport every non white. They wouldn’t have enough white people to deport that many people /s
This is Florida… Why would any horrible thing they do surprise you?
This is where calling universal school lunches privileged leads to
Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants
That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…
Fuck Florida
Guys who wrote this bill probably: “The children yearn for the mines.”
William Blake’s The Chimney Sweeper (1789) entered the chat
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!"
So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.
onion right? right? turning the debate on “free meals to school kids” to “should we feed kids working in the mines”. Nice progression M’URICAH
Well, it’s Florida. These kids will be washing dishes and cleaning rooms at resorts until the oranges are ready to pick. Try to go underground there you’ll just hit the ocean.
