A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans to remove constraints on employers and reduce aid for injured and unemployed workers.
The House Labor and Industrial Relations panel advanced the child labor legislation, House Bill 156, along with House Bill 119, which would slash the amount of time for which people can collect unemployment aid. A third bill the committee approved, House Bill 529, would change how workers' compensation wages are calculated in ways that could reduce benefits received by some injured laborers.
Conservatives have abandoned all pretext. Trump showed them they don't need to hide. They don't need to pretend they care about people. They don't need to act like they aren't corrupt. They can simply do what is in their own best interest, because conservatives will support them.

Then... Jfc. I'm not sure I should have read the comments to find out.
