It is bad enough that Moore was totally unqualified in every measure, but he's also a truly horrific misogynist and sadistic style of Capitalist... The trifecta. Sheesh, what's not to love?

&These 2, for this, that man deserves a 🚀 to the 🌞

Child labor

During a debate about minimum wage in 2016, Moore claimed that low labor force participation could be corrected by allowing children to work.

“I’m a radical on this; I’d get rid of a lot of these child labor laws. I want people starting to work at 11, 12,” he said during the debate.

Men’s wages

Earlier this week, Moore said the most pressing issue in the U.S. economy is the stagnation of “male earnings.”

“The biggest problem I see in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened to male earnings — for black males and white males, as well. They’ve been declining, and that is, I think, a big problem,” he said in a CNBC interview.

“I want everybody’s wages to rise, of course, but you know, people are talking about women’s earnings — they’ve risen,” Moore continued. “The problem, actually, has been the steady decline in male earnings, and I think we should pay attention to that, because I think that has very negative consequences for the economy and for society.”
