Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Seriously they should, it would be better for them. They dont because sports and extra curricular come after 3 PM (if they start later that all starts later too) and also cause it fits parents' work schedules. Except theyre teens, they hopefully should be able to be trusted to be more independent and go to school by 10 AM.
Ah but that would send the dangerous message to the proles that they have some right to sleep in for health which might carry over into adulthood as demands for flexible work hours to suit human bodies and lifestyles!
Better to beat them down as children, regiment them, abuse them, force them to take drugs and get used to it early so it's seen as normal and part of "growing up"
(And as a bonus it generates demand for our caffeine drug market further taking money from their pockets and adding another cost they have to bear just to earn a living)
I just keep thinking of the dead teens graves that should be marked "died while driving exhausted, so we could keep school schedules aligned for maximum profit generation"
The phrase “maximum profit generation” is now sticking in my head like a concept: that is what it will be to whatever comes after the Alphas or whatever the fuck they’re up to now. Betas? Ligmas?
Regardless, the last generation raised under late capitalism before it either rises to socialism or submerges into barbarism will truly be the Maximum Profit Generation.
