To frame #Grinch vs #Scrooge as a mere new-for-old replacement misses half the point of #AChristmasCarol: it’s not just a redemption story, but—like much of #Dickens’ work—also a critique of the class system.

Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

Notice from The Palace Theatre, Paignton:
Tonight's performance of A Christmas Carol will be going ahead.
Unfortunately Colin Baker has been taken ill - as a result at tonight's performance the role of Ebenezer Scrooge will be played by Gwithian Evans. -
🕯️A Christmas Carol 🕯️
Written in just 6 weeks, A Christmas Carol was first published on December 19, 1843, with the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve.
Dickens wrote that he “saw” his characters and that the Cratchits were “ever tugging at his coat sleeve, as if impatient for him to get back to his desk and continue the story of their lives”.
Well known caricaturist and illustrator John Leech produced the engravings that illustrated the original publication.

As we have still yet to reach Twelfth Night, I’m still sporting a seasonally appropriate #pinbadge on my old #tweed sport coat each day. Today’s is the just arrived new #Crow #Scrooge badge from Bush Bling. It well suits both the season and the #Dickensian reading I’ve been doing as of late.

ROSS KEMP'S "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" (2000)
Curious update of Dickens' Yuletide classic sees the Grant Mitchell actor resist any attempt to break away from the character that made him famous in the starring role of Eddie Scrooge, a mean gangland crim.
Unsure if this is meant to be self-aware parody or an attempt at a gritty update of the Victorian tale.
