      Do you honestly believe Desantis wants there to be child labor akin to what China does? You're the one who made the assertion. Back it up or admit you were just spewing stupidity. I get it that your side is scared to death that you can't beat the next generation of Republican candidates like Desantis, Vance and Ramiswami but dishonestly posting stupid insanity about them doesn't help your cause.

          Do you consider a 14 year old to be a child? I'm certain you do. So, Florida wants 14 year olds in the work force. Thus, it's child labour. Please, by all means, frame it "honestly" for us all.

            Good grief man. Get a grip. I live in a beach resort and both of my boys had summer jobs when they were 14. I worked on the farm of a family friend in the summers beginning at 13. Do you honestly want to frame that as wanting kids to be slave labor in factories as they do in China?

                  No, sir. It was MSNBC that was just lost a 30 million dollar defamation lawsuit. That's your channel, bro


                  NBC defamation settlement with Georgia doctor finalized in court following MSNBC's 'uterus collector' coverage

                    When did I say anything about slave labour? Jeez, you magatrons couldn't have an honest debate if your lives depended on it. All you have is deflection and straw men.
                    Good grief!!!

                      You brought up child labor and Desantis as if it was some evil crisis. Where were you going with that? Defend your position.

                        Sure we are emotional! The USA has started an unjust trade war against it's closest global partner. Many people in the Candian auto industry were laid off today.

                        There is a real chance that Trump and crew are engaging in illegal stock manipulation.

                              I already did before your deflection and straw man argument. 14 year olds are children. Florida wants to make it legal for 14 year olds to enter the work force, thus, that is child labour.
                              My question is, do you condone child labour?

                                Dude why don't you Google the bill and read for yourself.
                                Gov Dipstick want to change the law so children can work longer hours and earn less than minimum wage

                                What a surprise
