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 sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks."
Is this not a conflict of interest? String this motherfucker up in the gallows. It is downright corrupt to write laws that benefit your franchise. Fuck this asshole with a rusted spoon. Take all this online anger and shove it in his smoothie king lobbies.
That won't happen until you can't buy food at the grocers. Because the threat of imprisonment outweighs the perceived threat of these actions. Even though, at the end of the day, this law is just as damaging to individuals as an actual prison.
