Good. If adults don’t want to work because they’re lazy and on welfare then their kids will. The treats will flow and there’s nothing the loony left can do about it 😤
The children yearn for the deep fryer.
They should be paid more.
that just gives franchise owners even more incentive to hire even younger children

Now I’m imagining “The Matrix” style grow tanks lining production lines where fetuses send signals to machines to do work because hiring 5 year olds to too expensive.
Or just find ways to replace workers with AI, which would probably be their first choice.
Minimum wage plus $5/hr for every year under 18.
Incentivizing the exploitation of children seems like a wonderful way to kill an obscene amount of children.
Charging more isn’t incentivizing.
And it isn’t incentivizing parents to push their children to work at increasingly younger ages? Even at the expense of school, social life, and development? Especially the poorest families?
You are reinventing the entire problem that created child labour to begin with.
Pal, reading the entire thread will show you that I’m against child labor and cracking the joke that children should cost more to employ as a way to prevent cheap child labor.
It’s a joke. Child labor is bad. Goodnight.
Just ban it and force them to pay adult workers more
Well, yeah, child labor is not cool.
Reread your comment from the perspective of a family struggling to make ends meet
I think we are on the wrong page.
By charging I mean the wage. Charging more for a kid. I can see how my choice of words was confusing.
Let me reword it:
Requiring that children under 18 get an additional wage of $5/hr per year they are under 18 (17 = +5, 16 = +10, etc) is a way to discourage companies from hiring underage workers by making them cost more.
In all, the investigations led to $212,544 in civil money penalties against the employers.
About $700 per child labourer. Still cheaper than hiring an adult.
Child labour speeding tickets. Whoopsie!
they dont make these kids like they used, back in the 19th century kids didnt complain about their 18 hour workday smh
Imagine if America legalized nationwide child and forced labor. This could reverse policies that were enacted by Abraham Lincoln.
Last I checked this is illegal.
the police will be along shortly to throw the kids in jail
Where they will be put to work, but “legally” this time!
And/Or send them off to some oligarch pedophiles island.
So?

Article is from last year, not that it changes anything
If I had to guess, my money would be on things only being worse now.
Now they’d be 11 year olds working until 2 a.m.
The US really dropped off a cliff.
Hi here from all with a quick question and hope im not breaking any rules. Do you guys talk about anything other than America bad or are the america bad posts the only ones that make it to my all page?
(I’m not saying america isn’t bad, just curious)
Pretty much anybody who’s a communists sees the US as a threat to humanity. So, why would it be surprising that the focus is on the horrors of the regime?
Rock on brother
Now you know how it feels :)
I don’t know what I know now but thanks!
