#economy #labor #work #jobs #unions

THE PERKS OF CHILD LABOR 1. 'Hey corporations! Have you considered the benefits of 14 year-old workers?' Girl pushing pallet of boxes 'Look at that cute little hard hat.' 2. 'These adorable scamps are learning valuable assembly line skills instead of wasting time with homework.' Kids working on assembly line 'Keeps 'em from encountering any rebellious ideas.' 3. 'Statistically, kids are safer from mass shootings in a meatpacking plant than in school.' Kid has accidentally cut off own arm while trimming meat 'Maybe they'll lose a limb, but hey, they'll probably survive.' 4. 'Best of all, they're cheap and their brains haven't developed enough to form unions!' Kid carrying bag of cement mix - 'Form what?' 'Don't you worry about it!'

Two reasons:

1) They've kicked out the immigrants. Who else to do their slave labor but children, prisoner slaves, and an underclass of minorities?

2) They want to push out political opponents. LGBTQ+, blacks, anyone who votes for the other guy. Why? They want supermajorities in 35 states, so they can call a constitutional convention.

Then they get EVERYTHING. Single party rule. Theocracy. Ammendments revoked. Blacks enslaved again? EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.

I don't all the potential reprecussions of changing the laws, but in principle I think child labor is based.
