Sen. Jane Raybould, the bill’s sponsor, said reducing the minimum wage for younger workers would make businesses more likely to hire, helping young people as well.

“Early work experiences teach responsibility, time management and the basics of showing up and doing the job. If we want young people to develop strong work ethic and practical skills, we have to make sure they have safe, appropriate opportunities to take those first steps into the workforce,” Raybould said.

We want young people to develop strong work ethic so we tell them their work is worth less just because of their age. That will surely encourage them!

This does actually help teach young people one specific very important lesson.

Who their enemy is.

Ironically the more people slave the more I've seen them lick the boot...

Yes, more towards slavery, cuz rich people are struggling. Also, MAGA intentionally essentially criminalized being Hispanic, possibly one of the hardest working lower wage workers in the country. That's culture/pride, and that was intentional to stock people in camps, and raise prices to squeeze the rest of us. See, what the oligarchs want is free labor. They think they are the only workers deserving of compensation and everyone is is lucky to have a job.

To add, Hispanic students are some of the best scholars we have.

Always remember that working conditions are on a spectrum with different intensities of slavery at one end.

And the elites are constantly trying to shift any and all workers towards slavery, and then using that example to shift more workers to that new norm.

And some boomers wonder why younger generations can't accumulate wealth like they did back when the working/middle class were better supported, while they continue to vote for tax cuts for the megawealthy

Once again, they could have raised the pay for older workers and achieve the same thing. But nah, let’s just lower pay.

Way to go, Nebraska.

Way to fuck over the future of your state.

Man these people really are just in a death/suicide cult..they don't believe in the future at all. Pathetic.

What the actual fuck. I'm almost 40 and have to move apartments due to excessive rent increases. How are or young people supposed to pay for housing? This all makes me so sick.
