Is it all just a part of political theater meant to propel Meatball Ron into the spotlight, or are there deeper causes that this legislation is being created in reaction to? The purposeful dismantling of the education system seems like one piece, but what else is going on?

    What was the economic reason for the Jewish genocide? Because they were taking up all the money i guess?

    There's more complexity to it than that.

    Forced labour had an economic basis. And several industries could be spawned from transforming work camps into death camps, for one disgusting example - you can make wigs from the hair gathered from the dead.

    You find inside this transformation from forced labour to death machine the basis of different groups of the bourgeoisie having an economic incentive to see that transformation happen. But even more so is the unsustainability of it all in a system where fixed costs are too high, when maintaining your slaves becomes unsustainable economically you just start killing them all off because that's cheaper.

    This whole video is very worthwhile, but I've linked to a relevant portion of it, only need to watch 10 minutes or so. https://youtu.be/QO-7cymgtqo?t=4622

      ok i understand the economic basis behind Jewish genocide, but the main topic here has been what is the economic reason for anti-trans laws in Florida. im open to hearing ideas of that, cause i have no clue. I dont think ive heard a conservative say why getting rid of trans people helps the economy.

        My personal take is that it has to do with the labour pool and aging of society. The ratio of young workers to old retirees is ever increasing and this leads to a labour shortage.

        The solutions? One solution is immigration. They don't like that. Another solution is birthrates.

        So how do we achieve more births? We need to do patriarchy. Trans people are the first victims of a patriarchal revival intended to subjugate women and raise birthrates. Trans people are necessary victims in this revival because their very existence threatens patriarchy as they exist outside of any conceptual family that patriarchy can produce.

        As society ages and as the ratio of young workers to elderly ever increases this crisis of labour continues to increase and the urgency of their solution to it increases.

        With immigration off the table because of a culture of white supremacy, this is all I have that makes economic sense.
