This will make their Republican constituents less educated, with less means to gain higher education, and with a much less likelihood to ever gain a higher wage over time.
It's easy to see that the Republicans are trying to trick their constituents into permanently guaranteeing that they become a low-wage labor class. This, coupled with abortion bans in these areas, Republican leaders are literally crafting regions of cheap, available, desperate, and exploitable labor. And they are using Religion and Social Politics to bend these people to their whim. In order to work at these places, you think these kids are going to keep school and their education as a priority?
There's two parties in the Republican party, the "Haves" and the "Have Nots" and if you aren't making more than $1mil at the absolute bare minimum, you're one one of the "Have Nots". Those between that and $100k are essentially the Landed Gentry. Anything less than that, and you're just a gullible peasant voting against their own interests in a vague, desperate hope that you too will be able to someday enjoy "The American Dream".
I ask any Republican, you think any of the "Haves" kids will ever work at any of these locations? No, they are getting mentored, they are attending extra-curriculars, they are developing an educated future "leader" while your peasant child is toiling away for pennies....and you're supporting that.
