    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.

        “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.

        Ah, nice to remember. :) I’m used to speaking and writing UK English - I learnt it that way and it became a habit. (In the UK, they write colour intead of color, labour instead of labor, tyre instead of tire, grey instead of gray, 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.
