Unfortunately, not as bad as my state. "In Oklahoma, employees under 18 years old who have not graduated high school, and students under 22 enrolled in school, can be paid below the standard minimum wage. The state minimum for these exempt, non-student, or minor workers can be as low as $2.00/hour"

That's fucking evil. "If you want a better paycheck then you can go die in a war for oil."

Damn, I wonder why birth rates are going down. /s

Not so fun fact; this has been the case over here in the Netherlands since at least the 1980's. On a scale of 1 to 10, how progressive are we now?

"Fuck Dem kids"

pretty sure they have said that many times

That's a good way to get your young workforce to leave the state.

Yup, these minimum wage earners are the REAL problem.

In Nebraska you're old enough to vote or die for your country at age 18 or 19, but don't you dare think you're worthy of earning the regular adult minimum wage.

The fact that this wasn’t done in a “sensible” (using that term loosely) manner, say, limiting wage for people who are dependants, or even people under 18, shows that this is just a way to further kneecap the younger generations.

What the....fuck?

Rolling back a new ballot initiative, even.

My dudes, you have nothing to lose but your chains

If I'm under 20 and in Nebraska, this would really make me rethink voting for the same dickheads and morons my parents voted for.

You can’t fix stupid

Its trickling down your face, NE

Cunts.

Bitch what?!

Do you want to put your foot on the gas for brain drain? Because thats how you do it. Anyone smart enough to get accepted to an out-of-state school will never come back.

Nebraska lawmakers vote to take away the peoples votes. If a a majority doesn't matter, then their votes don't matter. Every Nebraskan would be supporting bowing and no say apparently ...

Honestly they should just "deport" every representative who defied their votes from the state and let the federal government say " you can't remove people for disagreeing with democracy"

Edit, did you know that charging 6000% property taxes to Republicans brings down house prices better than deporting people?

So long as there's a corresponding reduction in wages for Nebraska lawmakers ...

It's like to say they'll remember that at the ballot box, but they won't.

And then telling anyone older "see how much more you are making than them?".

Why would anyone hire someone who's not a child?

This is an "In capitalist America" joke, right?

Michael Thomas Stranc is a pedophile.

Pull yourself up by those bootstraps.

Your bootstraps:

For anyone who didn’t click through, a voter ballot initiative had the minimum wage set to increase to $15/hr for all ages with yearly increases tied to inflation. They reduced and capped it for teens because they’re cunts

Republicans 🤝 Fucking children

cunts

Bold strategy.

Because 18 is not adult?

Republicans: THEY'RE ALL LAZY, THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK!!! Republicans:

Nebraskans, my dudes, you have nothing to lose but your chains.
