No surprise. Why would younger working Americans move to a state where women’s personal choices are being eradicated, public education is threatened by private school funding, and books are being removed from libraries?
They tell us they do all that they do for the good of the children, so it really makes you wonder. They aren’t fighting for better outcomes for these kids, oh no. Gotta force as many unplanned pregnancies as possible so the maximum number of children can be born into a hellscape of poverty, low education, and subservience to capital and/or the war machine. Just repeal child labor laws and the minimum wage and you have all the child slaves you can muster. If you’re a right-libertarian then just add repealing age of consent laws.
Labor enjoys protections written in using the blood of those who died working horrible jobs in awful conditions and those who were murdered in cold blood by capital’s mercenaries and the state’s troops for daring to strike and protest over it. Part of that blood is the blood of child laborers, children forced to work in coal mines, or in factories or mills, children who were burned or cut, crushed, mangled, lost limbs, lost lives for the sake of profit. This is what conservatives are at this very moment trying to return us to.
Socialism or barbarism.
Thank God we just passed a $1.3 billon dollar handout to an untested company promising unicorns and a chicken in every pot. That’ll surely fix all our problems.
All praise for a General Assembly that passed this deal in record time.
I wonder who got kickbacks. Democrats would certainly be at the top of the list, since this is a crony hanger-on from Build Back Better.
Remember that folks, we didn’t build anything, and it certainly wasn’t better.
But this doesn’t pass without serious Republican buyouts. Hope somebody at fits has fun with this.
The radical religious extremists in the Republican Party are running younger, working aged people out of SC with their radical, anti-freedom policies.
Have fun with all the retired MAGA goons that have moved to your State over the past few years?.
New York, California, Oregon, Washington State, and New Jersey all have higher labor participation rates than SC and higher taxes. It ain’t the taxes, bucko.
This Republican worship of lower taxes for the rich is mindless. Our federal deficit has skyrocketed because of lower and lower taxes for the rich under Republican administrations. Now we can’t afford SS, Medicare and to defend ourselves. All these things have been sacrificed by Republicans seeking lower taxes for the rich, and lower wages for the workers.
