What the fuck does this mean

Mostly just meaning the squirrel! Part. We get distracted and off topic easily.

I know we've touched on it here somewhere before, but republicans are all for trickle down economics, so what we need in these instances are trickle down law enforcement. Why are we going after the people coming here trying to work hard? There's people that are clearly paying them, illegally, and benefitting from skirting labor laws. So why is that going unchecked? A chunk of that is likely farm labor where maybe those people are already sucking on the government teet. Maybe it's a big fuck you, figure out how to grow stuff and make a profit without a handout and illegal labor. OR, if that can't be done, and it needs govt. subsidies and cheap labor, maybe just maybe capitalism isn't the best method for essential things?

Exactly this. The punishment for companies who hire illegal immigrants at lower wages should be severe. They should almost be put out of business.

Disagree. I think kids should be kids and get to enjoy their best years. Kids can show their work ethic through their schooling/studies. It doesnt have to be a crappy job. Had an ex gf tell me in high school how much more mature she was than me because she had a crappy job at a local restaurant after school.

My work ethic today is a billion times stronger than hers. I've been in high level management and technical positions sometimes working up to 80 hours a week. That was mostly done throughout my 20's and 30's. I demoted myself last year back to 40/week so I can actually enjoy time with my kids.

100% this. We're so mind fucked in to a work culture that we have to now force kids in to jobs, so they can have money so they can buy shit, lather rinse repeat. Can't they enjoy freedom for a small amount of time before our shit society chews them up and makes them in to cogs? My kid was looking in to getting a job this year after freshman year, and while I was ok with his interviewing and what not, I didn't want him to. He's also talked about graduating early, which he easily could. But for what? To join the work force? We're all gonna do that until we're 65 at least. Let kids be kids. Shit, let some adults be kids as well, please! And again, if capitalism can't survive that way, then let's change the system. Because now it's hell bent on getting all of us to buy in to that mindset, work from when you're 12, 13, 15, etc. year old, good work ethic, so you can work for the man, and then you get to live for the weekends and enjoy 2 days a week, maybe, and then die. that is fucking miserable. Fuck kids working. Let them be kids. Sorry, wall of rant over.
