    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.

    “The sheep want to jump in my mouth” Mr. Wolf claimed.

    “The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”

    Ohhhh. Just harming young adults. Totally Clean conscience there

        “Give me a break” is probably what all the workers are saying.

        Who the hell wants to work through lunch and not get a break? Who the hell thinks that’s more productive or better in any way?

        No! We want to work more for less benefits!!! Let’s just skip nourishment and a brief rest, that won’t backfire at all. /s

            Right? And what would end up happening is losing the break, but still having to work til the same end time. Ugh.
