What the fuck

Hell yeah. Nice to here some of your generation being sick of this shit.
Voting Republican has consequences.
If you think your kids hated you before, let's see how they like you now.
that's bad, my state only follows federal minimum wage, so that's $7.25 for everybody
Meanwhile, the additional costs spared and their consequences for livehood:
If you're a normal/poor person: scraping by -> can't even live paycheck to paycheck anymore
If you're somewhat affluent: okay -> scraping by
If you're a billionnaire: excellent -> excellent (nothing changes)
To be part of the 1%, in the United States you'll need about $USD 6 million. Though living off from money only (i.e. without wage labour) is already "achievable" by $2 million, you then make about $100k a year with a 5% interest if in stocks.
All ye who are not part of the 1%, are the proletariat. Ye who depend on the oligarch have nothing to lose, but a world to gain.
Jane Raybauld, a Democrat, pushed for this because her family owns grocery stores that employ minors. She's a piece of shit.
Cant vote but can be worked to death for poverty wages - just one more form of legal slavery
Like I said in another thread, this has been the case in the Netherlands for at least since the eighties (€4,32 an hour if you're 15, still below €10 if you're 19) . And employers abuse the shit out of it, hiring young people as cheap labour and trying to get rid of them before they turn 21.
Wtf, only 30% of the minimum wage for being 15? What exactly is the company supposed to do with the other 70% to justify that?
Imagine how many of them are parents themselves, just fuck over 2 generations at once.
Children working for low wages: truly a show of a thriving state and a Great America /s
Meanwhile, when I was a teen I had to pay bills and rent, and I was paid MUCH MORE than kids are today (inflation).
But fuck teens, right? Oh, and you're drafted womp womp
US being US
One state isn't other 49. Don't lump the backwards with the rest of us.
More MAGA winning. This is exactly what MAGA wants to do on a national level.
I don't really have an issue with this. At $25 an hour, 10% less for actual teenagers is fair.
Wait, did you say $15?
$13.50 is less than 16 years of age? How does that math work? Is it $2 per year or is there some other formula you're using?
Age of consent in Nebraska, USA is 16. This is easily Googleable (I used DDG though, which uses Bing on the back end). Here's the top result: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states/nebraska
P.S. I broke out the calculator to justify your original statement. To get 15.9 as an age (lower than the age of consent in Nebraska, USA), you would have to consider $1.18 to be the value of each year. In other words, if you really did want to compare $13.50 an hour to an age that is lower than the minimum age of consent (I used 15.9), you would have to value each year to be worth $1.18. Or each dollar to be worth 1.18 years. I'm not sure. I'm not great at math. Maybe someone else can explain that better. I tried to make your argument make sense!
(I think you were trying to say that Nebraska's age of consent is 13, but you didn't think anybody would go look it up.)
