No wonder them kids in AR look so glum and soulless.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a measure this week loosening child labor protections in the state.

Under the law, the Youth Hiring Act of 2023, children under 16 do not have to obtain permission from the Division of Labor to get a job. They will no longer need to get an employment certificate, which verified their age, described their work and work schedule, and included written consent from a parent or guardian. Sanders signed the bill into law on Tuesday.

Alexa Henning, Sanders' communication director, said that the permit requirement had placed an "arbitrary burden on parents" who needed government permission for their child to get a job.

“It increases the likelihood that kids will end up in dangerous jobs," said Reid Maki, director of child labor advocacy at the National Consumers League. He added that the surge in reported child labor law violations makes it a "very odd time" for Arkansas to weaken protections.

“Just because there’s a shortage of workers doesn’t mean you can turn your back on almost 100 years of child labor law and start hiring kids, especially for dangerous jobs, which is what we’re seeing happen increasingly in the country," Maki said. "That doesn’t make any sense.”

Andrew Collins, a Democrat in the Arkansas House of Representatives, said the bill “increases the risk that there will be abuses and violations of other child labor laws” by removing the requirement for parental consent for a child to work.

“It was presented as somehow prioritizing parents, but I think it removes parents from the process,” Collins told NBC News.

Other states are also considering legislation to unravel child labor protections. One bill advancing in the Iowa legislature would allow 14-year-olds to perform some work in freezers and meat coolers and would allow children under 16 to work up to six hours a day while school is in session. It would also exempt businesses from civil liability if a student in a work-based study program is sickened, injured or killed because of the company’s negligence.
We can't let those 13 year olds from Guatemala take all of the good dangerous child labor jobs!

Lower than the percentage of black people photoshopped into Trump rally speech pictures.

"Many people who support looser child labor laws are likely imagining a small-town Arkansas teen picking up a summer job at the local Subway, not a poultry sanitation worker. But the true face of the underage workforce in the U.S. today is also that of the kids profiled in Dreier’s story: easily exploited, desperate young immigrants working full-time or close to it, living in overcrowded trailer parks, risking their health and safety to give multi-billion dollar companies lower labor costs and American consumers cheaper breaded chicken cutlets.

The ironic thing is that while Sanders extolls the virtues of teenage labor, she also warns of the U.S. being “completely overrun” by “illegals.” Many unaccompanied migrant children are coming to the U.S. specifically to work, for better or worse. If American companies, including Arkansas’s own Tyson Foods, wouldn’t or couldn’t hire them, far fewer would come."

I have noticed that, since Kamala's rise to the top of the ticket, the amount of black folks standing behind Trump at his rallies has more than tripled.

It proves 100%...black folks LOVE Trump!
He has done more for the black race than any one...ever...in history!
