    First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks. He questioned why Louisiana has the requirement while other states where he owns Smoothie King locations, such as Mississippi, don’t have them, and criticized people who have questioned the bill’s purpose.

    *This is fine meme*

    It should be questioned there skippy because your job is as a representative of the people.

    I hope this backfires spectacularly for him and people boycott as he’s using child labor as his business plan.

    Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and West Virginia battling on who gets to be the shittiest state

    If we had a backwards ass state tier list, those would be at the top right above Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, and Florida
