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.

Read the fine print tho: "Due to lack of migrant workers." What's that again? Lack of migrants you say? Whatever could be causing that?

Florida sliding further backwards doesn't surprise me at all.

But on a good note it looks like Florida's Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it's trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.

Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.

Why are they doing this? What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

"Wage slaves" is the only answer I've found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they're asking for.
