      Can confirm. Louisiana is actively getting worse because our congress is in a phase of revenge passing bills that our democrat governor had been blocking for the last 8 years, now that we have a newly elected republican governor.

        I wish Kansas and Louisiana had more long term memory. Brownback and Jindal were probably the worst governors of the last 50 years, qho did immediate and undeniable harm to their states, resulting in both states voting for Democrats right after. But they then proceeded to go right back to the absolutely terrible ideas.

          I still remember Brownback’s last campaign ad: “The sun is shining in Kansas and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

          That last bit’s kind of prophetic now.

    “Remove lunch breaks for child workers”

    For those of you worried that we were falling into a dystopian nightmare… Congratulations, we’re well beyond that.

    Republican Legislators: We are strongly opposed to child labor.

    Public: Finally.

    Republican Legislators: So we are going to severely punish any children found doing it.

    Public: Wait a minute…

    Reading the title I thought they took away the lunch breaks of people working with children and thought “that would de heartless”. Then it dawned on me what the title actually says…

    The voters who will approve this guy again think this law will hurt blacks and browns. These voters think “my white child will always have a good boss and get breaks.”

    This summer the lawmakers will try to suppress stories about any white children suffering from this.

    By the end of next summer, white people will start to realize that they are not immune to this. And it will be too late by then.
