Contemptible.
BREAKING: The Iowa Senate passed a child labor law before dawn today. The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol. The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.

You want kids to grow up never having worked in their lives, not knowing how to do anything, but pay them $15 an hour. Really good policy on your part. Nothing like having a bunch of future employees who can’t do anything of value.

Ya I don't get the outrage. I'm going to push my kids to get a job as around that age. They're 15 not 5

I had my first job at 14, graduated high school at 15. My parents helped me buy a car but I had to pay for my own gas and insurance.

You want to sterilize / medicalize children, halting their puberty w drugs used for chemical castration & cross sex hormones that turn them into life long pharma customers. You want them to have experimental surgeries making them sexually dysfunctional. I think we're done here.

Funny it was ok for country kids on the farm yrs ago but not for today's snowflakes.

Relax. It's not forced. Heaven forbid a young person learns responsibility, teamwork and make a little spending money instead of sitting home staring at a screen.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Nonsense. I’ve worked since I was 14. What a blessing in my life.

Why? What is contemptible about this?
