Texas is going to start a running tab on these babies and when they turn 18 they will have to pay it all back. I want to say this is sarcasm, but this is Texas and it might be a prediction.
Waiting 18 years is too generous. Try orphanages where the kids "learn a profession" from the time they're big enough to hold tools. And of course these orphanages are going to cost money to run, so why not combine the "profession training" with lucrative private manufacturing contracts?
"Ok Timmy, you're five now so the free ride is over. Get to stamping those licence plates. Debbie, you are being assigned to textiles. Those uniforms won't stitch themselves."
But not impossible. Prisoners are already been used for cheap labour. Child labour laws are being rolled back in some states. And if people like Vance and Project 2025 get their way there's going to be A LOT of babies being born that are going to end up in the care system.
Some fucker is going to add all that up and get cartoon dollar signs in their eyes.
When I lived at a few different group homes in Texas if we weren’t in school we were expected to work full time. They’d then take 75% of our paychecks and put it into a forced “savings account” we were supposed to get when we leave the placement. I never saw any of that money and I know I worked 60 hour weeks just to get out of that place.
