That was Florida. Child labor laws are mostly set by the states.

Fair point, but does it change anything? You don’t need factories in all states.

Florida has 19% of children living in poverty, which to me sounds very high. That’s a large and vulnerable group of people.

Do you think if children were going to be harmed in The USA then maybe the federal government should introduce a ban of that kind of shit federally?

I've heard it all now...

I'm not sure the federal government can. There are powers reserved for states that the federal government can't circumvent. They have supremacy, but the jurisdiction of that supremacy is restricted.

Is Flordia not in the US?

[clarionbell]

In the same way that Berlin is entire Germany.

[ZeroGravitas]

Florida is the US of the US.
