Summary of what I understood:
- Florida work force: 27% born in foreign countries
- Florida farm workers: 60% born in foreign countries
- Florida state: eager to persecute immigrants
Proposal:
- allow child labour for unlimited hours (if home schooled or distance learning)
- allow 30 hours per week during study sessions
- allow 6 days of consecutive work
- allow work during school hours
- allow early and late work, even if school next day
- allow more than 8 hours per day, even if school next day
That seems 19th century stuff. Back then, in the bad old times, anarchists shot politcians and workers had street battles with cops over this kind of minor issues.

Ah, nice to remember. :) I’m used to speaking and writing UK English - I learnt it that way and it became a habit. (Colour intead of color, labour instead of labor, tyre instead of tire, etc.)

Yep, British English got these words from Norman French. In the 20th Century, Webster’s reforms attempted to simplify American English and lost a bunch of these silent vowels.

“Not lab our” isn’t a complete sentence. Please conform to all rigid forms of prescriptivist communication if you’d like to continue nitpicking stupid shit.

You know those kids are pretty small as well, I’m sure they can work with chimeys a lot better than an adult.
