A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsors the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said people have been too critical of his bill.
“The wording is ‘we’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he says. "These are young adults.”
He needs to be removed from office by force if necessary. And we need fucking law that you have give up your business to run and hold political office. Fuck this scumbag.
This is the quote and it’s appalling.
Ahhhh, so he’s just looking for fast food slaves. Got it.
Well, . . . yeah. These legislative gems don’t come from ideals or deeply held beliefs. Just continued smash ‘n grab.
Profit baby!!!
Oh got it so ya we’re saying this all wrong then, ya? It should be “we’re here to harm young adults”, right?
“There are no children [to abuse], only young adults ;-)”
As if that makes it better. “Oh it’s not children who are suffering but young adults who are suffering! Phew! Never mind, then!”
People are LYING! We’re NOT trying to harm Children! We’re trying to harm Young Adults!
-That guy.
He needs to be removed from office by force if necessary. And we need fucking law that you have give up your business to run and hold political office. Fuck this scumbag.
Thanks. I went to get the quote and the article was behind a paywall. This guy probably can’t figure iut why he has high employee turnover.
