Capitalism is so fun

Easier to clean the fryer. Just plop them in. Free meal too.

I worked alot of jobs between the age of 11 and 15 in california including washing dishes for Little Ceasars and working at a hot dog stand at Great America. That is how I fed myself. I worked other jobs before that age (Camp Mendicino in CA through the boys club let you work there to stay for the whole summer, worked there 3 summers before 11 at an archery range, rifle range and in the cafeteria (best one we got extra food).

Child labor is def wrong, but sometimes you need a way to feed yourself. My brother got put in the system at 9 (I was 11) which freed me up from taking care of him (which I had done since I was 2). That was when I could start working jobs that actually paid enough for me to eat regularly etc.

Certainly shouldn't be having kids work, but you need to have a system in place that makes sure they get freaking fed if they can't work. At least I had school lunches, which before 11 was often the only food I got. I heard recently they are trying to get rid of those as well.

Um yeah the solution to feeding children isn't having them work til 2am

Especially for no pay

For sure, I don't think kids should have to work at all. I just think you need things in place to ensure they get fed etc. Certainly if you are going to have kids have a way to work if they need it, it needs to be regulated and honestly a way to tell which kids really need help.

what happened to you was not the system. you in fact had child labor done to you

If the fine is less than the profit made by breaking the law, then it's not really illegal.

Why would they receive a large fine for a slave who probably did very little work? Doesn't that seem unfair?

now that's a classic capitalism
