Take your ba somewhere else. Worker protections have been proven necessary over and over again. This is a devolution of progressive society. Saying that these policies are already active elsewhere shouldn't be an endorsement of their success rather than an indictment on Georgia still meeting to get their shit together. If a family finds it necessary for their 14 year old to work overnights to survive that's not exactly a point of pride for country
