    Who in their right fucking mind thinks letting teenagers work at landfills, meat processing plants, and logging companies is a good idea?!

    Well when COVID killed off a bunch of your workforce because you pretended it didn’t exist and you don’t know how many because you refused to keep accurate counts, and a bunch more retired because they figured they were close enough and COVID gave them an excuse, and all the undocumented immigrants are leaving because you’re passing laws targeting them and to them it’s not worth the pittance you’ve been gleefully paying them under the table- well, you’ve got to get more slaves from somewhere, right?
