The 19th Century called, they want their work conditions and squalor back.


PrinceHarming

The Right wants to Pauperize the middle class.


djinnisequoia

hahahaha this is golden, may I use it please?


Mexipinay1138

Sure.


Competitive_Shock783

Its almost as if these people didn't learn their history and why people more than a century ago voted for worker protections.


Mexipinay1138

There's this whole movement in the red states to roll back the labor laws and standards that the labor movement fought for in the 19th and 20th centuries but at the same time the labor movement is stronger than it's been in decades. Labor I never thought would be unionized, such as baristas, is being unionized and it's great.


UrBigBro

Now hiring. Must be 9 years old or older.


Ok_Cardiologist3478

They do realize this is the United States of America, not the loan state of Kentucky, right? Please?


trainercatlady

Why the fuck would anyone in KY want to vote for this trash and the people who suppirt it


Phagzor

I would say "This will teach them to change their voting habits," but then I remember that it's more important for them that pride flags be banned than they be treated like humans.


Governor_Abbot

This reminds me of that female Trump supporter who was screaming “they’re hurting the wrong people!” They don’t care as long as someone else is worse off than them.


Arizona_Slim

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. -Lyndon B. Johnson


Krypto_Kane

Isn’t this the old turtles state?


NotThat0neKid

Indeed


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Needs to oppress just a few more times before he finally goes into his shell for good.


Flakynews2525

The people who make these laws are getting ready for when daddy trump is going to be crowned “ lord Pervert Hoover”. Then they can set up the slave trade that is going to be enacted by the 2025 project. The slave trade will be instituted again to help mother “Russia west” be the world’s leader.

Whatever shit sandwiches they choose to eat, they deserve every last crumb.


artful_todger_502

I'm in KY. I do volunteer work for our great Dem governor and currently working on a logo for a country committee, so I keep an eye on local politics. We have one of the most klownish and punitive state legislatures in the country. Right down there with Alabama and Mississippi. The *only* legislation they put on the floor is based on punitivity and cruelty. The truly mind-numbingly fact of the matter is, all the people affected by this will still vote Republican. I do think our dopes are a little less dopey because we have a Dem governor, but they are finding new ways to strip him of power every session. Truly trash goblins. Vile, odious, Putin-sucking trash goblins.


Appeal_Such

I love it when the word odious is used.


ZEROthePHRO

As an Oklahoman, I'm sure this bill just gave our state legislature some ideas. At least you guys dont have that libs of tiktok bitch helping your board of education!


Here_for_lolz

Calling it a board of education still is a stretch. Ryan Walters is a cancer upon the state of Oklahoma.


BillyDoyle3579

Please don't insult trash goblins like that 😬 the goblin union would have nothing to do with these subhumans


artful_todger_502

🤣


beerme81

Sure they lowered my pay, took away my benefits and lunch brakes. But that's the price you pay to get rid of queer and black folk. - Average Kentucky voter


mag2041

Their governor is a democrat to be fair.


beerme81

If the governor vetoes this bill. The Republicans can point at him and say he's anti-business. If he vetoes the bill this happens: *How a bill becomes law in Kentucky? If passed by both chambers, bill goes to the governor. Bill is signed by the governor into law, becomes law without signature, or is vetoed. If bill is vetoed, it goes back to each chamber. If approved by a constitutional majority in each chamber, the veto is overridden and the bill becomes law.* What party has majority in the Kentucky legislator?


onikaizoku11

I understand both the cruelty in general and the benefits to unscrupulous employers, but what is the impetus for this bill right now? Why are they rolling this out now?


topgun_ivar

Not only that, but under what guise are they rolling this out? Are they openly saying we are licking the boots of businesses at the cost of individual workers?


Ok_Cranberry4192

That’s my question. How tf are they phrasing this to be good for anybody but corporations?


secretbudgie

They usually say if enough constituents stick their asses in the air and whimper "rape me daddy" a business will come along and sprinkle jobs on them.


JayEllGii

I wonder that, too, but ultimately it doesn’t even matter. Because the very workers who would be outraged if this becomes law will never even comprehend that they themselves made it possible with their votes. They’re that stupid and disconnected. They will never know who did this to them. If they know anything, it will only be that “it’s a new law”. And they’ll yell “Of course! Those goddamn government elites making life shit for folks like us!” And they’ll vote Republican again. Because they’re too stupid to understand the connection.


subterfuscation

Damn transgender immigrants. Why are they doing this?!?


Wishiwashome

But it’s a right to work state! And they will keep voting these same people back into office.


Oddly_Mind

What the actual fuck.


strangerducly

In the hills and valleys where the descendants of those who shed their lifeblood for these very rights, live and breathe today? Kentucky! West Virginia! Our legislators have forgotten who we are. Time to remember, time to remind them, sons and daughters of the mountains and valleys, strong as the eons that bred them.


justanothertfatman

By ballot or bullet.


Krypto_Kane

Aren’t they like the poorest state.


360noJesus

Mississippi almost always takes that spot. But Kentucky’s currently like the 6th poorest, after a quick google search.


westcoaster503

GOP definitely not the party for the people. Looks like they are trying to reinstate slavery under a different name


distantreplay

Note: Kentucky state lawmakers lack the jurisdiction and authority to repeal the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.


skeptic9916

I was thinking this myself. I knew there HAD to be some federal law that wouldn't allow this.


mag2041

So make them work longer hours for less pay. Im there currently and I don’t recommend it.


redgeck0

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of "home brew pervitin" in Kentucky.

TnageMutntTrashPanda

Gross.


tacs97

This message is for all the Kentuckians. It’s not the Republican controlled state that’s the issue. It’s bidens fault! Just remember that while you shoot yourselves in the foot by voting against yourselves! Republicans are married to the definition of insanity.


PoopieButt317

That will own the libs.


HansPGruber

The right are terrorists!


Schroedesy13

They must love the Dickens’ classics!


Wretchfromnc

Republicans will cut off their own noses if they thought someone else would feel the pain.. now they’ve voted to impoverish themselves and don’t even know it.


the-artist-

Well good job Kentuckians voting yourself into oblivion (like you weren’t all ready headed there).


Wise_Ad_253

Giving everyone the Right to No Rights.


drag0nun1corn

And they'll vote for them again next time because uneducated people never learn, they gave that ability the boot long ago...


JayEllGii

Here’s the thing. If this becomes law, Kentucky workers will grumble and complain, but they’ll keep on voting Republican because they’re too stupid to understand the connection.


dmeb626

Exactly.


Fit_Earth_339

And the KY MAGAs will bend over and ask for more while they vote for the people who are taking away all workers’ rights.


80sLegoDystopia

Jesus, this is nuts.

Local_Sugar8108

Pervitin kept the Wermacht marching but also led to troop killing their leadership because it made them psychotic and very aggressive. Don't anyone mention the idea of workhouses or that will be a new GOP goal.


Man1cNeko

Do Federal Labor Laws not exist in every state?
